ONE of Representative Gabrielle Giffords' doctors -declared on Tuesday she has "a 101 percent chance of surviving," as she made more progress, moving both arms and breathing on her own for the first time - just three days after a bullet shot through her brain.
Doctors emphasize she is in for a long recovery, and her neurosurgeon repeated his cautionary phrase of "she's holding her own."
Giffords remains in critical condition at Tucson's -University Medical Center where she was treated on -Saturday after being shot during a meeting with -constituents outside a Safeway supermarket.
Doctors previously reported that Giffords raised two fingers of her left hand and gave a thumbs-up when responding to verbal commands. Now they say that she is able to move her arms.
