Actually, it's something called Lewy Body Dementia, which is basically a middle ground between Alzheimers and Parkinsons in terms of symptom presentation. Essentially, she has symptoms of both - in her case particularly the latter - but doesn't actually have either.

I only just learned today that she is unwell!

It really makes me sad. I'm sure she has the best of care, but still I wish she had something from which she could recover
