Gillibrand: Giffords Making ‘An Extraordinary Amount Of Progress’ Appearing on Meet The Press, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) that her friend Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ) is making progress in her recovery from the shooting in Tucson, though she is not yet able to speak: “It’s far too early for that. But she’s making progress every day. She’s using both sides of her body. She’s able to breathe on her own. She’s able to open her eyes and to show people she understands what she’s hearing and seeing. So she’s really–it’s an extraordinary amount of progress for a woman who sustained such a horrific injury that she did.”
