The Arizona congresswoman has been sitting up, dangling her legs on the edge of the hospital bed and moving her limbs in response to commands. That's after she spontaneously opened her eyes during visits with her colleagues Wednesday night. She is able to lift both of her legs on command and is yawning and starting to rub her eyes, doctors said.
"She's becoming more aware of her surroundings," trauma chief Dr. Peter Rhee said during a news conference at the University Medical Center in Tucson, Ariz., Thursday.
The next milestone will be removing her breathing tube, and perhaps have her sit in a chair on Friday, said Rhee, who has treated soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan. Doctors want to make sure Giffords doesn't regress and are watching for pneumonia and blood clots.

God is watching over this one. This is a miracle
Prayers are answered.
Thanks be to God for her recovery. I continue to pray for her, and her family.
Good for her, prayers for a full recovery.
(just curious though, - - did Obama visit again today??)
Obama healed her. Didn’t you hear? One visit from him and she opened her eyes for the first time.
Of course, it is a lie. But I am sure he will repeat it.
Still further to go keep praying.
Prayers for a full recovery for Mrs. Giffords.
Great news.
And one that I’m sure will be attributed to Obama somehow, by a lot of zombies.
Yes it is a miracle though!
She’s beat my record by a mile.
[then again, they just strapped me down and did nothing, waiting for me to wake up...or die...ah, that good ol’ 80s brain trauma “technology”]
Awesome.
Amen.
An absolute MIRACLE.
Just Wow! Amazing.
The doctor expected a full recovery since day one.
Indeed blessed news!
Just a thought..what will the dems do if Rep. Giffords wakes up and wants to join the republican party again?
Blame it on the bullet in the head.
She’s recovering in *spite* of his malignant energy being near her.
Praise God, she’s going to be okay...I’ll bet on it!
[been there, done that, still here]
