She never did find the church that Sunday morning, but she eventually found her way home. Julie's speech and her writing became very disconnected and disjointed. Her husband, Phil, was taking over more of the household activities. After an extensive history and physical examination that included a CT scan, a mental health assessment was performed. The diagnosis was some form of dementia-likely Alzheimer disease.
