This is a picture of Errol from his third birthday
It's the longest night of the year. We just got Errol's 4:00 lab report back. His lactate levels are coming down, which is great. This afternoon they got up to around 9 which is really awful. Since the surgery they have been dropping, which is what we want. Now we are down to 6.9 and the goal is to get them to less than 3. As the lactate level goes down, the efficiency of Errol's heart goes up, and the health of his vital organs increases.
We are very far from out of the woods, and beyond the woods are shark infested waters. Things here are still grim, but we are, at long last, on a positive trajectory.

On what was truly the longest day of the year, may the light come ever stronger into Errol's heart and body and those of your own this day and every day. May the strength of the Winter Solstice be yours.
