I agree. I pray for his recovery. Usually if they repair the AVM, he has a good chance of surviving with complete faculties

My son had an AVM of the brain in 1979. He survived after a 10 hour operation.It took a good while to get most of his faculties back but he is still not 100%.We thank God for my son's recovery and we pray for the recovery of Senator Johnson.

...Removal of the AVM, through surgery or other means, may be considered, but this is a matter of some debate in the medical community...

Sounds like he could have another attack if the AVM is not removed.
