A Quick Update On Bret Michaels’ Condition

Bret Michaels is still laid up in the ICU after suffering a major brain hemorrhage on Thursday night. Over the weekend, Bret’s father said that things were looking good, but his rep immediately shot that claim down and said that his condition is still listed as: For Serious.

Yesterday morning, Bret’s rep gave another update on his website:

At this point Bret remains in ICU in critical condition. He is under 24 hour doctors care and supervision. We are hopeful that further tests will locate the source of the bleeding, which has still not been located. As we all know Bret is a fighter and we are hopeful that once all is complete the slurred speech, blurred vision and dizziness, etc., will be eliminated and all functions will return to normal.

A source also tells People that Bret called for an ambulance (or an “am-boo-lance” as my chola cousin calls it) on Thursday night because he felt like he was getting “hit in the head with a baseball bat over and over again.” Or hit in the head with a piece of scenery over and over again. DAMN TONYS!

You know, right after I read about Bret being in the hospital, I re-watched his accident at the Tony Awards. While skimming the comments, I found this:

This is nauseating to watch – it is ABSOLUTELY the cause of his current brain stem injury. Also, nauseating is the laughter about it. I hope his family sues the daylights out of the Tony Awards people.

I co-sign (not really). But doesn’t she mean sue the spotlights out of the Tony Awards people? Most of them haven’t seen daylight for YEARS!

Bret Michaels’ Daddy Says He’s “Doing Good”

When the news broke yesterday about Bret Michaels suffering a brain hemorrhage, it didn’t look good. Bandannas everywhere refused to tie, weave tracks weeped, and fans from East to West had their lighters up. But Bret’s father Wally Sychak tells Radar that he spoke to his son last night and he sounded “in good spirits.”

Wally said, “I talked to him this morning. He sounded upbeat and positive but they had him sedated. But he’s doing good. He sounded like my son. We’re all keeping our fingers crossed and saying our prayers. He just needs to be quiet now and get rested.”

Wally added that the doctors still aren’t 100% sure what caused the hemorrhage, but they all believe it had something to do with his recent emergency appendectomy and his type 1 diabetes.

Here’s hoping the news continues to be positive and Bret fully recuperates so that he can gift the world with Rock of Love Cruise.

UPDATE: Bret’s manager posted this on his website today: “There are several incorrect reports on Bret’s condition. Bret remains in critical condition at an undisclosed location. Further tests are being ran and information will be updated in the coming days.”
