Errol Milner Clifford 2006-2009

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.

Recovering


Errol is doing great! Doctor Hines came by on rounds this morning and wouldn't say a word about Errol because he didn't want to jinx his great progress. The color is coming back into Errol's face and he is looking stronger and stronger, in fact, Errol took one of his three IVs out this morning. We've been feeding him bottles of juice and goat milk and its made him very, very happy. The catheter and his pacemaker will come off today and we'll hope to pull his chest tube this evening. We are thrilled at our sweet boy's healing and feel so lucky to have him.
