Bret Michaels' Doctors Seeking "Source of Bleeding"
Bret Michaels remains hospitalized in critical condition following a brain hemorrhage Thursday night, his tour manager said in an update posted to his Web site Sunday.
"He is under 24 hour doctors' care and supervision," wrote Janna Elias of the rocker, 47, who is in the intensive care unit. "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," Elias continued.

She said Michaels' team was grateful for the outpouring of support.
"Everyone at Michaels Entertainment would like to thank all fans and friends for their continued thoughts and prayers through this difficult time," she wrote.
Michaels' father Wally Sychak told RadarOnline.com he spoke to his son in the hospital Friday morning.

"He sounded upbeat and positive but they had him sedated," Sychack said. "But he's doing good. [sic] He sounded like my son."
Sychak says doctors believe Michaels' hemorrhage -- and emergency appendectomy earlier this month -- are complications from his type 1 diabetes.
Tell Us What You Think
41I have been a HUGE fan of Bret Micheals for years and my prayers go out to his friends and family.I just know he will make it through this terrible ordeal.
John, you're a jerk. Didn't your mother teach you that if you can't say something nice, just be quiet? I hope you sit on a rose with a bunch of big, fat thorns!
Seriously, are you kidding me? This is not about all the ignorant people contaminating our world, making acusations and nasty comments. It's about a man lying in ICU, fighting for his life. Right now prayers would be great - kindness would be even better. He needs love, compassion and hope, not judgement. Didn't any of your mothers teach you that if you don't have something nice to say, keep your mouth SHUT? Try being understanding and kind - it's feels pretty good. Bret, we're going to miss you at Music Fest in Memphis this weekend. Hang in there, man - we're all pulling for you.

I read comments on here and it shocks the hell out of me how heartless some ppl are.. a man is laying in a hosp bed fighting for his life.. and all you hae to do is talk about his drug use and alcohol use.. there are plenty of ppl who have brain hemorrages without doing these things.. you dont make sense.. have a heart!!
And John...my mother did teach me to only say nice things, but you're a mean-spirited jerk. I hope you sit on a rose with LOTS of big, fat thorns.

Seriously, are you kidding? This isn't about all the ignorant people that contaminate our world, making rude acusations and nasty comments, it's about a man fighting for his life. Who really cares what he does in his free time and who are you to judge? The issue at hand is the fact he's lying in ICU trying desperately not to die. Prayers would be great right now - kindness would be even better. Didn't any of your mothers teach you that if you can't say something nice, keep your mouth SHUT? This man needs love, prayers, compassion and hope. Try it - it feels pretty good. Hang in there, Bret - we will miss you at Music Fest in Memphis this weekend. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, man!
Its so sad to hear of Brett's illness.. I hope and pray that he has a speedy recovery..
"Give him a drug test. If you find high amounts of cocaine then you have your source of the bleeding." and all those people who've had brain hemorrages who didn't do cocaine would like to thank you for your pioneering work in the field of "shot in the dark quack diagnosis". Well ya know nobody's perfect, many of us have bad habits including drugs, alcohol, overeating, bulimia, gambling, cheating on spouses, making distasteful comments about others' misfortunes, writing really corny rock ballads, we're only human. Okay that last one is unforgivable. Every rose has its thorn? Get a rope.
Bret, you are one of gods old souls, with a heart filled with nothing but love and kindness.I wish a ast recovery, Who ever reads this tonight before you go to bed say a prayer for BRET!!! It is only through prayer that god hears his children.
I'm not a fan of Bret Michaels, but I do hope that he pulls out of this. What an awful thing to happen to such a young man.
Give him a drug test. If you find high amounts of cocaine then you have your source of the bleeding.
OMG my huband had the same exact issue in August of 2009, my prayers are with Brett and his family, my huband made a full recovery so keep the faith.
It better pretty eyes.
People who post rude comments or nonsense, if their is a admin on here, remove their post and remove their privilages.
To Bret and his family, friends and fans; I am sending you get well wishes, lots of love and strength.
Prayer still for his family! I hope they find the source of the bleeding soon so he can get home with his kids! By the way, nicolas- Yes Deville is part of Poison, and Bret will always be famous and can still sell out an arena.. Get well soon!!
To the dumb people who think drinking is the source...alcohol does not cause brain hemorrhage. It's probably lots of stress, and I wouldn't blame him or any other celebrity. I hope he makes a full recovery
Why are people so judgemental. So what if he drinks a bit sometimes? That doesn't cause a brain hemorrhage. Here's hoping Bret Michael's makes a full recover.
