I was thinking about him, here's the latest:
WASHINGTON (AP) - Weeks after suffering a brain hemorrhage, Sen. Tim Johnson is improving but still needs a ventilator at night to help him breathe, his doctor said Wednesday.
In the most detailed update yet on Johnson's condition, his doctor said a test Wednesday revealed no evidence the tangled arteries that triggered the senator's stroke remain. ``This angiogram shows that there is no further surgery needed at this time,'' Dr. Vivek Deshmukh said in a statement released by Johnson's office.
The doctor said Johnson no longer needs a ventilator full-time. ``His breathing has steadily improved and now he only requires ventilator assistance at night,'' said Deshmukh, the neurosurgeon treating the senator.
The ventilator requires a tube to be placed down Johnson's throat, making it impossible for him to even attempt to talk.
