Getting prepared While most young men his age are getting ready for their first college spring break, Jay Fiori is facing the toughest decision of his life. He has decided to take Isabelle off life support if tests show she is brain dead. Although he has not given up hope for a recovery, he knows Isabelle's death is still a real possibility. If she is taken off life support, he plans to donate her organs to help other children. A part of me feels that if she doesn't make it, we will at least help other families.
Doctors plan to check for brain activity as early as today.
They are waiting for the effects of some of Isabelle's medications to wear off. She just looks perfect laying in that crib. We just wish we could have seen Diana holding her. Doctors have told the family they should be able to harvest Isabelle's corneas and heart valves if she does not recover. According to Jeff Al-Mashat, spokesman for LifeLink of Georgia, a company that transports donated organs, there is a big need for all organs.
