That's not how it works. There is no mechanism for removing an ill senator from office. If he's brain dead, then his state and party are down a seat until the next election.
A braindead man can't designate a proxy. If it comes out that he really is incapacitated, that will probably start a push for something like the 25th amendment for Congress.

This is hard to believe, but I verified it’s completely true.
