Three Cheers For Congresswoman Gifford Released From Hospital Today!
Edited on Wed Jun-15-11 06:09 PM by KittyWampus
TIRR Memorial Hermann hospital said in a statement that Giffords will soon begin outpatient treatment at the same facility. The Arizona Democrat's cognitive abilities and physical strength have improved, it said.

"Congresswoman Giffords has shown clear, continuous improvement from the moment she arrived at TIRR five months ago," said Dr. Gerard Francisco, the hospital's chief medical officer. "We are very excited that she has reached the next phase of her rehabilitation and can begin outpatient treatment. We have no doubt that she will continue to make significant strides in her recovery.

She looked great in the pics that were released. I wish her a full and speedy recovery, even though I realize that she has a long road ahead.

5. Kudos to the staff at TIRR!
She was very fortunate to have access to that caliber of care. The collective talent at TIRR is without peer, in my opinion.

6. Sometimes people say "I know how you feel", but they don't. I know how
her family feels. I felt that way when Miz O was released from the rehab hospital following her head injury.

My face is smiling for the family!

8. That news brings tears to my old eyes
I read that she was a blue dog but I don't care at this point in time. I just care that she is improving and will be able to get on with her life. The sob that did this to her is unfit for trial I read. What a travesty
