Baltimore's Cardinal Keeler is recouperating from surgery to alleviate the pressure created by fluid building around his brain ... further consequences (so media reports have it) from the serious auto accident the Cardinal endured last Fall while travelling with priest friends (one died) in Italy.
The "modern artist" who brought about the refurbishing of the Basilica of Mary of the Assumption in Baltimore to its original design, Cardinal Keeler has had serious difficulty walking lately ... created by the fluid build up.
A shunt was inserted into His Eminence's head and quickly began a process of alleviating the pressure on various parts of the Cardinal's brain.
Let us continue to remember him in our prayers. The Cardinal submitted his letter for retirement when he celebrated his 75th birthday April a year ago but it has not been accepted by the Holy Father.
