Errol Milner Clifford was born with a significant heart defect and a cognitive disability that prevented him from walking or talking. As we grieved the child we had anticipated, Errol’s full-bodied smile and irrepressible laugh turned our sorrow into joy, and taught us that many of the best things in life are unexpected. Inspired by Errol’s delightful spirit, friends, family, and neighbors rallied to support our family’s significant emotional, physical, and financial needs, through countless acts of selfless generosity. When Errol’s courageous heart finally failed him on December 23, 2009 we were left numb with grief. In these dark hours we listen hopefully for the echoes of Errol’s brilliant laugh. This blog is the story (starting from present and working back to Errol's birth) of the life and times of the amazing Errol Clifford.

Long Road Ahead
Errol is still in the PICU. Although his Friday started well, his recovery slowed down a bit today. If we can get Errol to keep his food down and get his chest tube out and we will be on the road out of the PICU. We'll see what tonight brings.
Sounds like Errol is really working hard with his recovery. As we always say at the Children's Center, you have to celebrate the little accomplishments because they always lead to bigger ones. Celebrate with Errol as he takes his little steps towards moving out of the PICU. He has such a loving mom, dad, and brother. He is one lucky little guy. Thinking of you often and celebrating those little steps with you!
