HOUSTON, March 11 (UPI) -- Rep. Gabrielle Giffords is recovering so well she may be able to travel to Florida for the launch of her husband's space shuttle mission, doctors said Friday.
Dr. Dong Kim, director of Memorial Hermann-Texas Medical Center in Houston, said Giffords, D-Ariz., has made tremendous progress in the two months since she was critically wounded in a shooting in Tucson, the Los Angeles Times said. He said she has begun to walk with help and is able to communicate verbally.
