The bullet “traveled the entire length of the brain on the left side,” said Dr. Rhee, Chief Trauma Surgeon at the University Medical Center, at a press conference on Sunday. In terms of being shot in the head, this is “about as good as it’s going to get,” said Rhee.
Giffords can open her eyes, but because she is on a ventilator she can’t speak, said Rhee.

"Giffords is in a drug-induced coma in intensive care. Doctors frequently awaken her to check her responsiveness, and she could open her eyes and respond to simple commands Sunday - an encouraging sign, Rhee said."
"Giffords cannot speak because she is on a ventilator, and cannot see because of the area of her injury and the surgery requires her eyes be kept closed, the doctors said."

Sounds like Giffords could open her eyes all along, the doctors just didn't want her to for a few days after surgery...
Cheers for the recovery of Gabrielle Giffords or as her new found buddys call her “Gabby”
Jeers for Barack Obama and the rest of this PT Barnum crowd
I just thank God she is doing better, three days ago or today.
May he have the mercy to restore her back to health and she lives a full life as she expected, as God intended.
So, the One told a whopper of Clintonian proportions tonight. I’m shocked.
May who have the mercy to restore her back to health?!? Obama?!?
May who have the mercy to restore her back to health?!? Obama?!?
AMEN
In a stunning moment, Obama announced that Giffords, who is in critical condition, opened her eyes for the first time after he left her intensive care hospital room before the service.(FoxNews)
It must have been a stunning moment for Dr. Rhee.
Remember these are Democrats...they have to have their feel good moment. We should be glad they didn’t try to make her walk.
AMEN
Prayers UP for the families!
Don't tell Joe.
Wait, how can this be? Didn't The One say otherwise?
Reading comprehension weak or just a cynic?
He did make it sound as if he healed her and she opened her eyes. Later someone else said he had left the room and then she opened her eyes. BTW, his speech put me to sleep, drug on for way too long for a memorial service, and did sound like a campaign rally. Plus I am sure the audience was planted with college students who think he is Jesus Christ to them, since they have no clue who the real Jesus is, thanks to Obama and the Dems policies. Of course, he would be able to heal her. He has healed the planet after all.
link doesn’t work...
It did last night before The Øne's long reach pulled it!
Forward it to FoxNews...
The messiah did mention that Gifford’s husband gave him permission to make that statement.
Best part of course, was that Gifford’s good friends, Pelosi, Gillibrand and Washerwoman Shultz were there to visit. They told her what they had for dinner, blah blah blah.
sigh................there really are no words to describe the vapid nature of this administration and the dem cabal in congress.
