Gabrielle Giffords to undergo surgery
Giffords will undergo surgery Wednesday so doctors can replace a piece of her skull with a plastic implant, another encouraging step since the Arizona congresswoman was shot in the head more than four months ago.
US Rep. Gabrielle Giffords is doing well after two surgeries this weekend: a tracheotomy and a repair to fractures in the right eye, doctors at University Medical Center in Tucson, Ariz., said at a news conference on Monday.
