Gabrielle Giffords Showing More Progress

Gabrielle Giffords is continuing down the road to a miraculous recovery as representatives reveal that she is showing emotion and memory retention skills. According to her rep, the Arizona Congresswoman can remember song lyrics as well as legislative business.

Various associates of the congresswoman, including spokesman CJ Karamargin, rabbi and friend Stephanie Aaron, and chief of staff Pia Carusone say they regularly get updates about Giffords' progress, according to The Associated Press.

Giffords has undergone therapy for nearly two months since the Tucson shooting that wounded her. One type of therapy being used on the congresswoman is music therapy. The AP reports that she sang the song “American Pie” with her family, and that she knew it better than all of them.

"I'm very encouraged and hopeful for the future," said rabbi Aaron.
President Obama also gave his regards to the congresswoman after hearing about her progress.
