ABC News' Z. Byron Wolf Reports: The office of Sen. Tim Johnson, D-S.D. updated the senator's condition in a statement released to media today.
Sen. Johnson had emergency brain surgery last year after suffering a brain hemorrhage on Dec. 13, 2006. He has remained in hospital in Washington D.C., and is undergoing rehabilitative therapy.
"Senator Johnson is actively making decisions about his healthcare and expressing his opinions about his daily activities," said Dr. Philip Marion, medical director for the Department of Rehabilitative Medicine at George Washington University Hospital.
"He continues to initiate more conversations and questions. His therapy now includes computer exercises and problem-solving activities," said Marion.
Sen. Johnson's wife, Barbara Johnson said, "Our family continues to be impressed with Tim's progress . . . even though there is a long road ahead to complete recovery, we feel that we have gotten 'our Tim' back," she said.
The Senator's office said Sen. Johnson has been reading the newspaper and following news, especially news from South Dakota, and has requested more updates from his staff.
