Good news about Giffords

CNN reports:

U.S. Representative Gabrielle Giffords, recovering from a gunshot wound to the head sustained January 8, is regaining part of her ability to speak, her spokesman said Wednesday.

C.J. Karamargin would not divulge what Giffords has said, other than saying she asked for toast.

“It’s very good news,” he told CNN.

Good news indeed, and also quite amazing, considering the nature of her wound.

Let’s hope for more good news about her in the weeks and months ahead.
