Rep. Giffords Just ‘Starting To Process’ Shooting, Husband Says (VIDEO)

03/24/2011 3:36 pm 0 comments

U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords is doing “remarkably well” in her recovery from the brain injury she suffered in a shooting in January, her astronaut husband said Thursday, but she is only now absorbing the implications of the experience.

Mark Kelly, the commander for next month’s flight of the shuttle Endeavour, told reporters during a NASA news conference that there was a “pretty good chance” Giffords would attend the launch, now set for April 19.

Giffords wants to attend the launch but is awaiting final approval from her doctors, Kelly said.

“She’s starting to process some of the tragedy that we all went through in January … she’s going through that as we speak,” Kelly said. “Despite that, she remains in a very good mood.”
