The breathing tube in U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords' throat was removed and replaced with a tracheotomy tube in her windpipe, a procedure that potentially offers doctors a chance to evaluate whether she can speak.At this time, there is no indication of whether she can speak, but she has aced every test so far. She continues to track with her eyes and show understanding when communicated with. The brain is still a mystery, but here's hoping the good news continues to roll.

There is some good news at least. I hope she gets better and makes the fullest recovery possible.
Jesus, what a tragedy this is.
Agreed. I just read she was upgraded to serious condition because she was breathing on her own. She can use all the blessings possible.
