While traveling in an ambulance through Tucson, she reacted when she heard applause from people standing along the street, Tucson trauma surgeon Randall Friese, who accompanied Giffords on the flight, said at a news conference today in Houston.
“She responded very well to that” and was “smiling and in fact even tearing up a little bit,” Friese said.
