Rep. Gabrielle Giffords has arrived safely at a Houston hospital, where she will undergo rehabilitative treatment. "I'm very pleased to bring the news that the transfer from the University Medical Center in Tucson to Memorial Hermann Hospital here went flawlessly," said a Tucson doctor. After a brief exam, Dr. Dong Kim of the Houston hospital said Giffords looked “spectacular,” but “there are varying stages of what we call paralysis or weakness” on her right side. "We really think over the next few months she's going to do remarkably well," he continued. "There's no question that she is aware of what's happening." Pieces of her skull, which were removed, are still frozen and may not be surgically returned to her head for weeks, said her doctors.
