Hey PopCrunchers, rock icon and reality star Bret Michaels could use our well wishes. Bret was admitted to the intensive care unit of a San Antonio hospital late Thursday after falling ill with a massive subarachnoid hemorrhage, or in layman’s terms “bleeding at the base of the brain stem.”<\/p>\n
Oh no…..<\/p>\n
Michaels, 47, was rushed the hospital complaining of a very severe headache. Insiders tell PEOPLE<\/a><\/em> the former Rock of Love<\/em> star is currently listed in critical condition.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n \u201cAfter several CAT scans, MRIs and an angiogram, [doctors] decided to keep Michaels in the ICU and are running several tests to determine the cause. [It] will be touch and go for the next few days while he is under intense observation,\u201d<\/em> a source close to the star tells PEOPLE Magazine<\/em>.<\/p>\n The rocker — who suffers from Type I diabetes — underwent an emergency appendectomy in a Texas hospital on April 12. He was released to a diabetic treatment center on Wednesday, where doctors expected him to make a full recovery.<\/p>\n Sadly, that’s proven not to be the case.<\/p>\n Earlier this week, Bret hit up his blog<\/a> with a light-hearted and encouraging update on his recovery:<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve been spending my time in the hospital watching \u2018Modern Family.\u2019 It is the best new comedy out there,\u201d<\/em> he wrote on April 17. \u201cAnd yes there are hot nurses taking care of me, in case you were curious. I mean, come on, every man has the nurse fantasy don\u2019t they?\u201d<\/em> Bret continued.<\/p>\n \u201cI have played concerts with broken bones, extremely low blood sugars, the flu, colds, and all kinds of things before. I tend to try to perform at all costs. But, I knew I was really sick this time when I started throwing up that morning and didn\u2019t stop all day. I just didn\u2019t realize how bad it was. After the [surgery], they told me that if I had gone onstage like I wanted to, it likely would have ruptured and I could have died. Not good.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Oh dear — this doesn’t sound good. We sure hope Bret pulls through. Please keep him in your thoughts….<\/p>\n Hey PopCrunchers, rock icon and reality star Bret Michaels could use our well wishes.
