Democratic Sen. Tim Johnson in critical condition this morning

Democratic Sen. Tim Johnson was in critical condition early Thursday after suffering "stroke-like symptoms" and undergoing emergency surgery at a Washington hospital.

A nursing supervisor told The Washington Post "early today that the senator was out of surgery and in critical condition. Hospital officials and Johnson aides offered no further comment or details; a more complete statement was expected later this morning."

AP said "A person in the hospital's media relations office, who declined to be identified by name pending a formal statement, said George Washington University Hospital was preparing to announce that Johnson's condition was critical. He would not describe the nature of the surgery."

CNN reports that Sen. Tim Johnson has been diagnosed with a congenital arteriovenous malformation. (AVM).

The Johnson family is said to be "encouraged and optimistic."

But CNN reports that recovery from deep brain surgery and from the bleeding could take weeks or months or even longer.
