HOUSTON – Gabrielle Giffords is under intensive care at Texas Medical Center after a flawless trip from Arizona, where throngs of well-wishers gave her a farewell that brought a tearful smile from the congresswoman.

Earlier in the day, the caravan carrying the congresswoman swept past cheering crowds as she left the hospital in Tucson, Ariz., where she dazzled doctors with her recovery from being shot in the head two weeks ago.
Children sat on their parents' shoulders as the motorcade passed. Many waved. Others carried signs wishing "Gabby" well.
"She responded very well to that — smiling and even tearing a little bit," said Dr. Randall Friese, a surgeon at the University Medical Center trauma center in Tucson who traveled with Giffords. "It was very emotional and very special."
