PHOENIX — Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, an eloquent speaker before she was shot in the head last month, is relearning the skill — progressing from mouthing words and lip-syncing songs to talking briefly by telephone to her brother-in- law on the international space station.
With a group of friends and family members acting as a backup chorus, Giffords has been mouthing the lyrics to “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star” and “I Can’t Give You Anything but Love, Baby.”
“It’s not like she’s speaking the way she spoke, but she is vocalizing and making progress every day,” Pia Carusone, the congresswoman’s chief of staff, said Sunday. “She’s working very hard. She’s determined.”
