Just received word that Phil has been accepted in the Florida Brain Bank. Within 12 hours of his death a piece of his brain will be removed. I felt it was imporant for our children and grandchildren to know exactly what dementia Phil has and it will also help the researchers in their search for a cure. I know Phil would approve of my decision because he was always listed as an organ donor on his driver's license.
I also think this is a great thing to do. I have asked my dh about his wishes to donate his body. I will be looking into this. We are both organ donors but this may help more. I don't know yet if this is possible.
when you ask about it, see if they want the eyes too. We added the eyes with my FIL's brain cause in Boston they are researching the link of spotting early signs in the back of the eyes before symptoms really show.
