La représentante démocrate atteinte à la tête par un projectile lors de la tuerie en Arizona pourrait quitter le centre de réhabilitation de Houston en juillet. Il s'agit d'une étape très importante même si nous sommes loin d'une guérison complète. Je vous laisse un lien pour l'article et les premières photos de Giffords depuis la tuerie.
"Carusone said Friday that Giffords could be released sometime this month.
She said doctors and family are considering "many factors" while making the critical next-step decision to release Giffords from TIRR Memorial Hermann, the hospital where she has been undergoing intensive daily rehabilitation since late January.
"We're looking at before the end of the month. We're looking at early July," Carusone said. "We don't have a date."
But in an interview published this week in the Arizona Republic, Carusone made clear that Giffords remains a shadow of her former self as she has difficulty stringing together sentences and relies heavily on gestures and facial expressions to communicate. She also faces some difficulty in expressing bigger, more complex thoughts, Carusone said.
While Giffords' release from the hospital after five months of intensive inpatient therapy will mark an important step in her recovery, she still must undergo months of outpatient rehabilitation that will include speech, occupational and physical therapy.
Since the shooting, the only time the public has gotten a glimpse of Giffords was April 27 as she boarded a plane to Florida to watch astronaut husband Mark Kelly launch into space. The grainy footage, taken from afar, showed Giffords slowly but purposefully walk up the airplane's stairs.
The newly released photos, shot by Tucson photographer P.K. Weis just before surgery on her skull, provide a much clearer image."
