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.

Bad News

Errol definitely has an infection and it looks like sepsis. This is an extremely dangerous condition for anyone, but our doctors think Errol has an immune deficiency, and that will make his path even more precarious. We will do a CT scan tonight to try to locate the source of the infection and we are treating his infection with a variety of antibiotics. Things are grim.

This is a beautiful picture of Errol from the past year

Some times you just want to say Damn It!

Errol is a fighter like his Mom and Dad. Here's hoping the antibiotics have an extra dose of love and healing.

You all deserve it.
