Helen and I are almost back home after a catastrophic illness nightmare at Cleveland Clinic for 20 days--mostly in intensive care. Helen had surgery at Akron General Medical Center in April for a ruptured ulcer on the back of her stomach. A scan at that time also showed a mass near the aorta diagnosed as B cell lymphoma. Helen had chemo and 24-7 dialysis. The chemo caused a huge decrease in the mass but there were other problems. Finally on August 17 (Day 20), she was discharged and taken by ambulance to Copley Health Center, 150 Heritage Woods, across from AGMC wellness center for rehabilitation. Room A210. Telephone 330-670-6690. Thanks for all your prayers. Sorry I have been out of touch, but I am devoting all my time to Helen.
ABOUT THE BLOG
Because I am devoting all my time to Helen I have not been able to keep the blog going, but hope to find someone to continue the important mission of providing news and information that parishioners need for a vibrant parish.
I had advised a number of parish leaders that this might happen. I hope younger parishioners wil make every effort to keep the blog going. I will try to assist anyone who wants to help, but I cannot continue an active role. If you are interested, send email to: hliggett@sbcglobal.net

Where have the updates been???
You may have noticed that the blog has not been updated in quite some time. My mom has been in the hospital for the past several weeks at the Cleveland Clinic. My dad has not left her side during that time. He has slept at her bedside much of the time. During her stays in ICU he found lodging just down the street. Either way he has spent the days and most of the nights at her bedside.
She is stable enough that she will be discharged back to Akron on Monday (8-17) - we hope. We will keep you posted.
May God Bless our teachers and new Principal as we begin a new school year.
If anyone has any announcements over the next week or so, you can email them to tom_liggett@yahoo.com and I will try to make sure they get published.
Thank you for your prayers during this difficult time for our family.
