TUCSON,. (AP) - Doctors treating Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Giffords' brain wound said Monday the congresswoman was responding to verbal commands by raising two fingers of her left hand and even managed to give a thumbs-up.

Prayers continue.



I saw her neurosurgeon on Fox last night...he said she had wiggled a specific toe or finger when asked yesterday, when they brought her out of the induced coma. That she was able to do that, he said, was nothing short of miraculous! He also said that if they can keep her brain swelling down by the induced coma, as much as possible, and infection does not occur, things are looking really good for her.  :yahoo:

The best sort of revenge for what the scumbag tried to take from her.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

Giffords is a fighter.

I heard that she was able to breath on her own without a tube, but they are keeping it in for the time being.  Then her surgeon (IIRC) said he believes she has a 101% chance of surviving this whole thing.
