Congresswoman Giffords wakes critic

Democratic Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, who eight days ago was shot in the head at a rally in Tucson (Arizona), is no longer in a situation "critical", although his condition remains "serious" as the last medical known this morning. The doctors who treat you in the Hospital of the University of Arizona say that Giffords, 40, "continuous improvement" despite the severity of the injury.

On Saturday, doctors removed the breathing tube that's congressman and he performed a tracheotomy, in view of the improvement is experiencing after a bullet went through the entire left cerebral hemisphere in a shootout that killed six people and 14 wounded. Giffords was the only victim of the attack remained in critical condition.

"The congressman is breathing on his own", says the latest medical report which states that the procedures performed the previous day have been developed "successfully and without incident." Giffords had been breathing on her own in recent days, but doctors kept the ventilation system as a precaution against possible infection.

On Saturday, surgeons also placed a tube to feed the patient. In recent days, Democratic politics has opened my eyes and followed the movement of objects placed in their field of vision. It has responded to simple commands, such as lifting your toes. The arrested for the killing of Tucson, Jared Loughna, 22, remains in solitary confinement in a Phoenix jail without bail pending trial.

U.S. officials are considering holding the process in San Diego (California), according to The Washington Post, for fear that publicity of the case and public awareness of Arizona before the event can influence its outcome. One reason is the possible conflict of interest to try the case between the federal judges in Arizona, as one of those killed in the shooting was its chief judge, John M.

Roll. It will be his replacement, Roslyn O. Silver, in charge of determining the movement of the stage of the trial, but judicial sources quoted by The Washington Post are almost done.
