Considering how this story started, this news is both good and pretty remarkable:

Rep. Gabrielle Giffords will be released from a Tucson, Ariz., hospital Friday just under two weeks after she suffered a gunshot wound to her head. Giffords is set to be moved from the University Medical Center to Houston’s Institute for Rehabilitation and Research at Memorial Hermann hospital, KTRK-TV confirmed Wednesday The facility specializes in helping people recuperate from brain injuries.

Last night on ABC, Giffords husband Mark Kelly said he had no idea what the rehabilitation process would be like for her and revealed that he had yet to tell her about the other deaths that occurred on January 8th out of concern for how she will react to the news.
