HOUSTON, June 3 (UPI) -- Space Shuttle astronaut Mark Kelly visited his wife, U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, in a Houston hospital the day after he returned from space, officials said.
It was Kelly's first chance to see Giffords since she underwent surgery May 18 to repair her skull, damaged when she was shot through the head Jan. 8 in an assassination attempt during a meet-and-greet session in Tucson, the Arizona Daily Star reported.
