doctor treating Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Giffords described her condition as “quite remarkable and better than we expected” during a news conference Friday in Houston, Texas.
Giffords has shown “better movement and better speaking,” while enduring three hour daily rehabilitation sessions, according to Dr. Gerard Francisco.
“She is already speaking in full sentences,” said Dr. Dong Kim, who indicated Giffords is walking and has demonstrated “a good memory span.”
Her spokesman said Thursday that her progress has been significant enough that Giffords plans to attend next month’s launch of space shuttle Endeavor which will be commanded by her husband.
