Regardless of everyones personal feelings on Bret Michaels..lets just remember that he has 2 little girls (who I'm pretty sure are both under the age of 10). I can't imagine if I would've lost my father that young.
I'm not a huge Bret fan, but I really pray, for the sake of his family, that he makes a full recovery.
Was reading about Bret's situation. The doctors say they can't locate where the bleeding is coming from. Another poster referenced his fall last year, you know it just might have something to do with it. So sad, he has children too. The doctors also say that within 2 months there is a 90% chance of recurring hemorrhages, which is very scary and is probably why they are keeping him. He'll probably be hospitalized for some time now. Luck has been on his side, first the appendectomy and then the brain hemorrhage all found in the nick of time.

I was hoping that when he found Ambre on Rock Of Love that he'd grow up for his kids sake. I feel so bad for his girls.

What I saw was that it's not related to the accident; but more to his life style.
Please post it here if you find the article but don't know how the brain bleeding could have been caused by his lifestyle, some type of event and or fall I think is more likely to be the case of what contributed to his current situation. True he is a Rock star but doubt that he partook in the typical behavior we expect of a Rock star as he is a diabetic so having too much cake in his lifestyle really is just dangerous, so I'm sure he rocked hard but in moderation.

A doctor on LKL last night said that a fall or injury to anyone a year ago could not cause this. But that drug use,drinking and or smoking from years ago could contribute or cause.
Bret Update 4/27/10 8:05pmlink - Test results indicate a setback in Bret Michaels condition a side effect from the brain hemorrhage called hyponatremia a lack of sodium in the body which leads to seizures.
~Snip- Bret Michaels was the topic of Larry King Live as Donald Trump, Jr. and other celebrities weigh in on Michaels condition. Due to the severity of his condition, Bret Michaels continues to remain hospitalized in an intensive care unit at an undisclosed hospital. He remains in critical but stable condition according to his doctors. Last night on Larry King Live Bret Michaels condition was the topic on the show as Donald Trump, Jr., Darryl Strawberry, Sanjay Gupta and Carlos Diaz discuss concerns, lasting affects as well Michaels as a person.....
....Dr. Sanjay Gupta is CNN's chief medical correspondent says a subarachnoid hemorrhage is an aneurysm in one of the blood vessels. He stated about 10 percent of people don't survive. He obviously survived that. About another quarter of people don't make it through the first couple of days in the hospital and 30 percent make a full recovery....
...Michaels' medical workup demonstrated findings of a subarachnoid hemorrhage, a type of stroke that causes bleeding in the fluid-filled spaces around the base of the brain. It presents itself suddenly as the sound of a loud gunshot or thunderclap at the back of the head causing severe cranial pain and muscle spasms. Many people are speculating Michaels head injury suffered from a prop striking the singer at the Tony awards last June is the cause. Additional studies are planned throughout the week to hopefully detect the exact cause of the rupture....
....The most common cause of this condition is a spontaneous rupture of a cerebral aneurysm, however, 15 to 20 percent of spontaneous episodes of this hemorrhage are found to have no cause. Michaels has undergone a continuous series of tests while in the ICU including angiograms, CT scans, MRI’s and transcranial dopplers (TCD's). Doctors state Michaels is very lucky as his condition could have been fatal. With further testing and rehabilitation, they are hopeful that Bret will gradually improve as the blood surrounding the brain dissolves and is reabsorbed into his system, which can be a very painful recovery and take several weeks to months.

I just looked at a google search, I don't see the link I clicked on yesterday. It went to one of the morning shows I think.
