Bret Michaels Rushed to ICU with Brain Hemorrhage | Bret Michaels
Bret Michaels's health has taken a turn for the worse, PEOPLE has learned: After an excruciating headache late Thursday night, the star was rushed to an undisclosed hospital where doctors discovered he suffered a massive subarachnoid hemorrhage (bleeding at the base of his brain stem), according to a source close to the situation.
Michaels, 47, is currently in critical condition. "After 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," the source says.
Reps confirm this report is accurate, and tell PEOPLE, "We will have no additional information until further testing is done."
The rocker's latest hospital visit follows his emergency appendectomy in San Antonio, Texas, on April 12. There is no word yet whether this new development is related to the rocker's recent appendectomy or to his diabetes.
After his appendectomy, Michaels remained in the hospital under his doctors' care – then transferred to a rehab facility specializing in diabetic patients.
As he was recovering, Michaels – who was still in the running to win this season of NBC's Celebrity Apprentice – seemed to be in good spirits and updated fans on his progress.
"They told me that if I had gone on stage like I wanted to, [my appendix] likely would have ruptured and I could have died," he wrote in a note to his fans. "There is just no way around the fact that getting your appendix out HURTS. I have a pretty good threshold for pain, but this one hurts."Anne Marie Cruz

A stem cell treatment in Brazil, involving 20 type-1 diabetics, has led to 12 of these no longer requiring insulin for a long period of time, some for up to 5 years so far. This is no self proclaimed cure for the condition, some of those involved relapsed and needed to use insulin again (although this was always in a smaller dose).
The treatment stopped the immune system from killing the pancreatic islets which regulate blood sugar, by releasing the hormone insulin.
There is some speculation about the results produced, as the patients were required to take immunosuppressant drugs as part of the study, or may simply have been receiving better care than usual.A stem cell treatment in Brazil, involving 20 type-1 diabetics, has led to 12 of these... more
