Ronnie Fuller’s life changed dramatically in 2018, when he experienced a brain injury and lost oxygen for 40 minutes.
“It’s a miracle he’s alive,” said his wife, Michelle.
But Ronnie, 48, and his family grapple with the aftermath. “He can’t write. He has trouble feeding himself. He can’t walk.”
Michelle explained that Ronnie’s brain injury was the result of a drug overdose: Medication he was taking gave him suicidal thoughts, and he acted on them.
With two children, ages 6 and 21, the injury has added undue stress on the family. Michelle is his sole caregiver since Ronnie was discharged from an inpatient brain rehab program last November. So she was thrilled to find out about our Brain Health program, where Ronnie could interact with others while relearning skills to be more self-sufficient.
“It’s fun, I learn something,” Ronnie said. “I get to talk to other people.”
Michelle agreed: “Routine is good for him. There are a lot of different activities for him. It makes me happy he’s involved.”
