HOUSTON (AP) -- Doctors treating Rep. Gabrielle Giffords say they plan to put a speaking valve in her breathing tube to help her speak.
In a news conference Wednesday afternoon, doctors said they removed a tube draining excess fluid from her brain on Monday and that she was ready to begin full rehabilitation.
The Arizona congresswoman was transferred Wednesday morning to TIRR Memorial Hermann, a rehabilitation center near the hospital where she has been in intensive care since her arrival in Houston on Friday.
