If this does not put a lump in your throat then nothing will. Such good news! Link Here

Washington | Democratic Sen. Tim Johnson has opened his eyes and shown other small signs of recovery from brain surgery that are encouraging to his family, a spokeswoman said Friday.

............

He was responding to the voice of his wife, Barbara, and following directions a few hours after the surgery. When she asked him to open his eyes, he did, and then reached out to hold her hand, said Johnson spokeswoman Julianne Fisher.

Sorry for the short diary, but this is such good news. He remained in critical but stable condition throughout Saturday and was visited by many friends including former Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle and again by incoming Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. Senator Johnson's office did not release any official statement on Saturday.
