Tom Liggett dismissed from hospital

Tom Liggett was dismissed from Akron City Hospital on Thursday after quadruple bypass surgery on July 14. He will be resting at home for a few weeks.

There was a 12th birthday party for Erin in Tom's room at the hospital on Wednesday evening. A Boston Creme decorated with "Happy Birthday Erin" was brought in by Helen and Harry and Tom and Sue supplied ice cream from the hospital refrigerator. After singing of Happy Birthday, Erin opened cards and gifts. It was a birthday to remember.

Tom recovering from heart surgery

Tom Liggett regained consciousness Saturday night after quadruple bypass surgery and the nurse gave him a phone to call home. The breathing tube and balloon pump were removed. The family visited and talked to him Sunday afternoon. The nurse allowed daughter, Anna, who is only 8, in the room to visit. His blood pressure was a little low and he was given additional blood. He was sitting up in a chair when we visited Monday. He is expected to be moved from the surgical cardiovascular intensive care to a regular room later tonight or Tuesday.

Tom's surgery is Saturday

Tom Liggett will undergo bypass surgery at 8 a.m. Saturday at Akron City Hospital

Tom Liggett suffers heart attack

Tom Liggett suffered a heart attack about 1 a.m. today (Thursday, July 12, 2007) and was rushed by EMS to Akron City Hospital (Summa)

There was minimal if any damage to his heart, but build up of cholesterol and calcium (not uncommon in dialysis patients) will require that he have open heart bypass surgery, probably Friday. A heart catherization procedure showed blockage in all arteries. Rev. Fr. Ralph Thomas, pastor of St. Paul Church, is to anoint Tom this afternoon.

His wife, Susan, daughters Erin and Anna and parents Helen and Harry would appreciate your prayers for Tom.

Happy Birthday for Grandmother

It’s time again to wish a "Happy Birthday" to my great-great grandmother Eliza Cotter who would be 181 years old this St. Patrick's Day. She was born on a March 17 near Newry in County Armagh. She had a daughter, Mary Elizabeth "Mollie" (my great-grandmother), who like my granddaughter Anna was born on Christmas Day. And, of course, my other granddaughter is named Erin. Myself, more like an ordinary three-leaf clover, was born on the third day of the third month of 1930.

Jackie (Krebs) Broderick dies

Jacqueline (Krebs) Broderick died at 9:30 this morning, Thursday, March 8. She became gravely ill about a month ago and it was discovered that she had brain cancer.

Funeral arrangements will be posted as soon as they are available.

Jackie was the daughter of the late Winifred (Liggett) and Lloyd Krebs.

Jacqueline (Krebs) Broderick is gravely ill.

Jacqueline (Krebs) Broderick is very ill, her sister Marcia Hill reports. She was having trouble using her left hand, and it was thought that she might have had a stroke. A brain scan, however, showed brain cancer. Her lung cancer of ten years ago had metastasized there. She was given ten radiation treatments and was told she has one to three months to live. This was about a month ago. She has been going downhill rapidly and has moved to the extended care unit at Friendship Village in Columbus. The prognosis is not good.

Her daughter, Barb, works for the alcohol and drug use department for the State of Ohio and they have given her a laptop computer so she can do her work from Jackie's bedside.

Jackie is the daughter of the late Winifred (Liggett) and Lloyd Krebs. She was very good at paying attention to her aunt, the late Mary Ong, by going places with her.

Barb will keep Marcia posted.
