A Warren House Resident Story
David
At 19 years old, a windsurfing accident knocked David unconscious and left him underwater for many minutes. He suffered an anoxic brain injury where the brain is deprived of oxygen and cells begin to die. He would spend 5 months in recovery and rehabilitation, first at Children’s Hospital and later at New England Rehabilitation Hospital.
David lived at home until 1997, re-learning everything: walking, talking, reading, writing and feeding himself. When Warren House opened that year, he was a lucky winner in the lottery for an open slot there.
David sets goals and challenges himself. He has taken travel training from the MTBA to master bus routes in Winchester and Woburn, enrolled in a medical terminology course, worked in the NERH cafeteria and now works at Home Depot.
After years of rehabilitation Peggy is able to walk with a walker and live mostly independently.
A Warren House Resident Story
Peggy
Peggy loves comedy. She even took classes to learn to be a stand-up comic. At 15 years old, Peggy suffered a traumatic brain injury in a car accident. She was in a coma for over a month. After her accident she had to re-learn everything – talking, walking, and eating.
After her hospitalization and rehab, Peggy continued to live at home with her parents until she became one of the earliest Warren House residents when she moved to her own apartment in 1998.
Almost 25 year later, Peggy continues to thrive at Warren House.
