UMC ICU nurses talk about personal experience with Giffords

For Angelique Tadeo it was music.

"It was Mana, a Mexican rock band I just love, and so does she apparently and so it was nice I got to bring in a CD for her and we listened to it every night," said Tadeo.

Tracy Culbert says she developed a special bond with Giffords. In a photo, Culbert can be seen sitting beside the congresswoman on the plane ride to a Houston rehabilitation center.

Culbert says Giffords had touched her necklace, which held a charm in memory of Culbert's deceased father.

"My dad passed away about three years ago and this is a fingerprint impression of his thumb," said Culbert. "And she reached in to pull me forward to hug me and I said, 'Gabby you're going to make me cry.' And she patted my back like it's OK."

However one visitor made a huge impact, President Barack Obama.

1. Geez, I can't stop wanting to cry every time I hear she's doing better

I hope she has a complete recovery of her mental faculties.

2. Gabby comforting others

what an amazing person, so many stories of her patting and hugging others, to comfort them. Even as she lay in critical condition. Always thinking of others.
