Prayers for your daughter! I hope she’s okay now.

I also hope Rep Giffords is ok. It’s possible that this shot ricocheted off the bone and didn’t really tear up any tissue.

I don’t know anything about her and I’d never heard of her before, in fact, but I hope and pray that she makes it.

I am not an expert on the subject. It just sounded like a miracle to have brain surgery and suddenly be able to recognize people and respond..and apparently it isn’t true.

She is unconscious and brain swelling is a concern...so she still might not make it.

Apparently it did go through her brain.

But of course, as we have seen, reports can be wrong.

Stand down on the report of Congresswoman being alert. Not true says hospital, despite reports to the contrary....

Good news!

Prayers for all the victims who are in critical condition, the families of all the victims, particularly the family of the 9-year old girl who lost her life today.

I made a comment on another thread about how I wondered if something like this is how it would go down...with a disclaimer that I didn’t think Giffords was the Antichrist..it just got me to thinking if this is how it might happen.

"I think the eye-witness said it went into her temple and out her forehead. Could have missed the main part of her brain, or glanced it."

If that's true, it might not have hit the brain at all, but instead traveled through her sinuses. She's a lucky lady if so.

Good news. I hope she comes out of this with no lasting problems. She didn’t deserve this. Prayers up for her and her family.

Ditto! Prayers up for the victims, each and every one of them and their families.

A shot through the temple certainly is a horrific event for the brain. Having her talking and able to be coherent is a miracle.

A medical expert on either CNN or FOX stated that one of Giffords' aides was a former nurse. When he heard the shots he ran to her side, put pressure on her wound to slow the bleeding and kept her conscious and active until the ambulance arrived. The specialist reporting this credits the aide's quick action with Gabrielle's miraculous survival and promising prognosis.

May this blessed woman seize the chance God granted her. May she turn away from the pro abortion movement and defend the most helpless among us.

And may her father get a freakin clue about which side of the spectrum are violent scum.
