After TBI Woman Leads Second Life
There was a time when Abigail Baglione had life figured out. She was a senior in college planning on becoming a psychologist. That all changed in an instant. Six years ago, Baglione was in the back seat of a car as it was broadsided. The damage to her body was devastating. "She was hooked up to every imaginable life-saving piece of equipment," said her mother, Mary Baglione. "But she looked like a doll. She was beautiful, lying there, and it was hard to believe that she was so badly injured." But one of the greatest injuries Baglione suffered couldn't be seen. It was inside her head. When Baglione awoke after seven weeks in a coma, it was clear the effects on her brain had been severe. In an interview with ABC News' "Primetime" three weeks after the accident, she acknowledged that she couldn't talk without help. "It has affected me physically, like, obviously I can't walk myself," she said. "I can't talk myself."
