Hospital: Rep. Giffords to move to rehab facility

TUCSON, Ariz. — Fresh from a sunny outing that brought a smile, US Rep. Gabrielle Giffords is moving to a Houston rehab center where her husband hopes the "fighter" continues on the path to a full recovery.
University Medical Center staffers took the wounded congresswoman to a deck at the hospital Thursday, where she breathed in the fresh air and felt the sun, trauma surgeon Peter Rhee said.
"I saw the biggest smile she could gather," Rhee said. "We are very happy to have her enjoying the sunshine of Arizona."
Giffords has been making progress nearly everyday in her recovery from a bullet wound to the brain.
