Gabrielle Giffords progresse toujours...


Des nouvelles fraîches de la représentante atteinte à la tête lors de la tuerie en Arizona...

Rep. Gabrielle Giffords has been told that she was shot. Her ability to walk and talk is improving. And doctors say there's a good chance she'll be able to attend her husband's space shuttle launch next month.

Doctors provided the new details about Giffords' condition Friday, their first official updates she began intensive rehabilitation in Houston on Jan. 26.

They described several milestones in her recovery. The developments include the removal of her breathing tube last week and her improving ability to walk with assistance and talk in complete sentences such as "I'm tired. I want to go to bed."

Dr. Imoigele Aisiku, her neurosurgeon, called the breathing tube removal a "fist-pump" moment.

"I'm very happy to report that she's making leaps and bounds in terms of neurological recovery," added, Dr. Dong Kim, a neuroscientist. "She's doing spectacularly well."

Her memory is also improving, and doctors believe she will not have lasting memory loss in the future.

But she does not recall the tragic event in Tucson that wounded her and 12 others and killed six people.

"She has been told both by her husband and by us, and I think she understands," Kim said
