Gabrielle Giffor

Gabrielle Giffords and its treatment face some important decisions to make in the wake of Friday to postpone the launch of space shuttle Endeavour.
When Endeavour does not boot, will be Giffords husband, Mark Kelly, on top of the final journey, and the second to last of the shuttle program.
Killed Giffords, a member of Congress and the state of Arizona, in the head in an assassination attempt in Tucson in January, but was take what was described as a remarkable recovery, and was subject to intensive rehabilitation in Houston.
And was doing well enough to be flown to Florida to see what should have been the launch on Friday.
Now, with the delay takeoff until Monday at least, according to NASA, and possibly longer, and Giffords should return to Houston or continue her treatment in Florida, hoping to see the President of the Endeavour in space?
“It’s a bit of a call provision,” says Dr. Jonathan Fellus, a neurologist. “But a few days really should not make a big difference. It’s got a nurse with her, and perhaps the wizard, and they’re going to have to watch for signs of how she is doing.”
He said Fellus, who is medical director of Rehab Hospital in Meadowlands in Secaucus, New Jersey, “demonstrated in the early morning on Saturday,” co-anchor Rebecca Jarvis, a trip to Florida is in fact “an opportunity” to Giffords. “It’s really therapeutic outing to test some of the skills acquired in Rehab,” he said. “It probably at least one processor with it, or they brought in the Wizard to work with them locally, they will work on skills they learned, they probably will not go for three days without treatment.”
What if the late start of a longer period?
“Once again,” Fellus replied: “It is a call provision. I would say, if a few days, not a big difference, and if we go in a week to ten days, it may be best to have her back in that environment to control (in Houston) It really depends on how they do not. they’re going to be alert to indicate whether the signs of relapse. ”

“It is unlikely that (ie, regression) that would constitute a setback is permanent, but you do not want to be falling into some bad habits, and because, the longer they go on, then there is greater chance of getting her frustration or anger. But, It is very possible that he may cause a permanent setback
