Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Giffords is breathing on her own, one of the doctors treating her said Tuesday.
Dr. Michael Lemole, the chief of neurosurgery at University Medical Center in Tucson, said at a news conference that the congresswoman is still following simple commands, although she remains on a breathing tube to protect against complications such as pneumonia. She’s alert and responding to doctors.
