Mark Kelly Space Trip Dilemma: Take Flight Or Stay With Wife Gabrielle Giffords

My hunch is that you're very young, don't have the experience or the knowledge to have understood this on your own, and it's why I am a broken record on the need for better journalism­.  To help people like you understand that which you've never been trained about or lived through to know without being told.

That is, if you're going to weigh in with so decided an opinion as you've been doing on this thread.

Only in the worst case scenario (such as she's a vegetable who is not likely to recover in any meaningful way) should Kelly be leaving his wife's side for weeks.  

Why?  Because with a traumatic brain injury, even in the best of circumstan­ces (some meaningful recovery is possible), no husband is going to leave his wife in rehab for weeks on end.  The anxiety and distress caused by his absence is going to impede rehab.  And with brain injuries, every day not making progress makes recovery less likely.

If her condition is worse than has been implied, if he's considerin­g going, then everything from "the smile hours after the sh00ting" and "the 60-minute massage" and the intermitte­nt photos with Giffords' hand (and Kelly and 'her hand' watching the SOTU) has been manipulati­ve public relations to commit fraud on the American people.
