Jay Leno,Mavis Leno,Condition

The condition of Jay Leno's wife Mavis Leno continues to decline amid her battle with dementia, according to a new filing from her court-appointed counsel. Mavis Leno's court-appointed counsel Ronald Ostrin shared an update into her condition. In court documents obtained by E! News on April 1, Ostrin said she sometimes does not know her husband, Jay, nor her date of birth. Noting that Mavis Leno has been diagnosed with advanced dementia, the attorney wrote in the filing, 'She has a lot of disorientation, will ruminate about her parents who have both passed and her mother who died about 20 years ago.' However, Ostrin said that although it was clear she had cognitive impairment, she still has a charming personality and could communicate. His filing recommended that Jay Leno—who has been taking care of Mavis Leno at their Los Angeles home—be prepared for planning purposes.
