WASHINGTON (AP) - Democratic Sen. Tim Johnson remained in critical condition but was described as recovering and holding his wife's hand Thursday after emergency overnight surgery to repair bleeding inside his brain.
His sudden illness had raised questions over whether the Democrats would hold their newly won slim control of the Senate.
The South Dakota lawmaker, 59, was on "an uncomplicated postoperative course," the U.S. Capitol physician said after visiting him Thursday afternoon. Johnson suffered a hemorrhage in his brain caused by a rare and sometimes fatal condition.

As much as I would like to see a switch in who holds the majority seats in the Senate I would prefer it be due to other circumstances. So, I hope he recovers.
