Some good news from the Argus Leader:
Sen. Tim Johnson, the South Dakota Democrat who was rushed speechless to a hospital after suffering a brain injury in December, now is initiating conversations with friends and family. He's also reading letters and cards, a sign that his mental sharpness is steadily improving, his doctors say.
"Simply put, he is reading. The test showed that he is comprehending written material and successfully following written commands," Dr. Philip Marion said.
Marion is medical director at George Washington University Hospital's Department of Rehabilitative Medicine, where Johnson is in the midst of physical and speech rehabilitation."One of his doctors described his progress to date as miraculous,"Johnson's wife, Barbara, said Thursday. "There is no doubt in my mind that the many prayers that have been offered for his recovery are being answered."
