Posted: Jan 13, 2011
My husband and I are in the middle of a really interesting conversation after seeing the latest progress that Congresswoman Giffords is making. On one of the news reports a few days ago, we saw that they had removed quite a bit of her skull as a precaution for anticipated swelling. Now what? Is there a way they can put that part of her skull back or will she have to have a titanium plate? Just curious

My mom had open-heart surgery and her heart swelling was so bad due to CHF they left her chest cracked open for about five days before closing her up (she was in an induced coma for all of that but could respond to our voices).
