And another quick update. Dr. Nirenberg was very nice and her team did a good job I think in examining my mother's condition. Her thinking is my mother has Lewy Body disease. Still looking into this, but it seems to be the same thing as Lewy Body Dementia. It seems like the relationship to Parkinson's is sort of unclear, from a scientific perspective, though they do share many characteristics.
