Jackie was diagnosed with Parkinson's in November of 2023. I believe she had been suffering for longer than that. Just undiagnosed turns out her younger brother also suffers from Parkinson's but not to the same degree. Carbidopa is helping. She's transitioning to Assisted Living now. It's painful to watch your mother suffer from loss of memory. Extremely anxiety but I noticed that routine stimulation, socialization and feeling safe is important. I also notice less is more in all ways. We try to honor her everyday and she's doing well despite her disease I'm happy to report
