Giffords apparently doing very well

his guy looked perfectly fine for a while too -


I don't have time to look him up and find out what this means . . . but the key info I took from the article was "opening eyes more", "moving both arms", and the fact that they deemed her stable enough to "help" to a standing position (which, by the sound of "opening eyes more" was very likely a 2-person underarm assist with possibly not a lot of help from the patient.)
The "sitting up in a chair" is very likely a cardiac chair to which you transfer a person in supine and then adjust to whatever degree into a sitting position-- in other words possibly not much different from just adjusting the bed into a partial chair position.

I read another detailed account that described the bullet entering from behind, so I think "shot in the forehead": might be wrong. Based on other descriptions I've seen of her injuries, the statement that she's moving her right arm is surprising, but I hope it's true-- it would bode very well for her if it was.
