Injured AZ Congresswoman makes big progress
The hospital in Tucson, Arizona, where Arizona Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords was staying, has moved her to a physical rehabilitation center located in Houston, Texas. She will recover from her brain injury there. Giffords got a brain injury in the Tucson shooting that Jared Lee Loughner carried out. Now, she is recovering quickly. Giffords is now speaking once again, CBS reports. This was after being rushed to a Tucson hospital after getting a shot in the head. She is going through extreme physical therapy at TIRR Memorial Herman Hospital. Giffords was moved there because the hospital specializes in physical therapy for victims of severe head and brain trauma.
Talking and asking for food is Giffords
It’s good that Giffords is going through her talk therapy in recovery. This is what a spokesperson said. As Giffords is hooked up to a breathing tube, either it would have to be removed or a vent would have to be put in it so she could speak. This is why it’s unknown currently how she is doing this speech. Apparently she is eating again too. Her Facebook page recently had a comment from her husband, Mark Kelly. He said, “Gabby’s appetite is back — even though it’s hospital food.” Kelly's Space Shuttle Endeavour is on hold. He will return in April at the soonest.
Judge killed the naming of a new courthouse
After the Tucson shooting that killed six and injured 13, Congress has passed a bill to name a federal courthouse after one of the victims, Reuters reports. Chief Judge John M. Roll was killed in the shooting. A new courthouse can be named after him after being built in Yuma, Arizona. The building will be complete in a couple of years. It will open in 2013.
