Jackie was diagnosed with Primary Progressive Aphasia about 6 years ago. This condition is also known as Frontal Temporal Dementia. Although considered dementia, this is not Alzheimer's disease. It affects the frontal lobes of the brain. As a result, Jackie's ability to communicate has been affected and she can no longer speak. She still knows loved ones for which we're thankful. She is now in end stage dementia and under the care of hospice in her own home.
