On Wednesday, Gabrielle Giffords was able to stand and look out her hospital room window with a little help. Her family plans on moving her from the hospital to a Texas rehabilitation center. This is a huge milestone in her recovery considering she was shot in the forehead at point blank range. Giffords’ husband, Mark Kelly, is extremely hopeful and believes his wife will be able to recover. Kelly says that she improves every day and that the doctors are hopeful that she will be ready for Texas in as little as two weeks.
It’s amazing that somebody can survive a shot to the brain and still be able to stand a few days later. I believe that it is her family’s hope and support that allowed her to recover so quickly. It is truly a miracle by God. I think it is good that her family plans on moving her close to home so that she can continue to be supported through her rehabilitation. Giffords still doesn’t know about the six others that died, and I’m sure it will be very devastating for her. I hope she doesn’t blame herself because she certainly can’t control a mentally unstable rational. It’s a shame that bad things happen to good people.
