Hi again, Sad Sister, you are so welcome. I'm very glad you brother is in the hands of such renowned experts, and it's great that they explored their options. Living in this area has its advantages.

Of course I understand if your brother and his wife might not like discussing such a personal event with complete strangers. Maybe as he peruses the website, he'll become more comfortable with the idea. My heart goes out to you all, because it's just overwhelming, especially at the start.

Please do keep us posted; we really care and will help all we can.
Carol
