Bret Michaels’ manager Janna has updated us his condition on his Facebook page.
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.
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. Coupled with the fact that Michaels is a lifelong Type 1 diabetic and has recently undergone emergency appendectomy surgery while on tour in San Antonio, he will remain monitored closely by his medical team to make sure no complications occur from the diabetes.
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. Michaels remains under 24-hour observation in the ICU and is in positive spirits. He is responding well to tests and treatments. Even though today was a minor setback Doctors remain hopeful for a full recovery and plan to release more specific information next Monday.
Bret’s bandmate Pete Evick wrote a letter and posted it on Bret Michaels’ Facebook explaining why there has been so much secrecy about his condition.
Hey everyone. Much like Janna, I rarely speak out about Bret other than my own personal facebook comments. But I wanted to reach out to all of you and let you know that we who are closest to Bret, are overwhelmed with the amount of love and well wishes he is receiving. I know that everyone is waiting for some OFFICIAL news, however we just cant give any right now. This is a time for family, a time for healing and a time for love. It is out of respect first and foremost for his precious daughters, their mother and his immediate family that none of us say anything. The press has a way of taking information and doing what they want with it. At a critical time, we who care deepest for him, refuse to offer any information that can be delivered incorrectly. Imagine if your children or parents read something even slightly not true about you or your health on the internet. Its not fun.
I respect their decision and I will be only posting their updates on his condition. Several other news sources (some so-called reliable ones) have posted updates on his condition that have proven false. I really hope the next update is that the blood in his brain is starting to dissolve. I pray that he has to speedy and full recovery.
Before Pamela Anderson married 3 different men, she was dating Scott Baio on Charles in Charge. Pamela Anderson was such a natural beautiful (and flat) when she was 23 years old in that 1990 episode, you know before she started wearing all of that makeup and got all of that work done.
So there is a new video sharing site called Babelgum and they have recreated two of MTV’s biggest reality shows Jersey Shore and The Hills with little kids. The kids’ ages might only be single digits, but they are more mature than the people they are impersonating and better actors!
OMG! How freaking awwwdorable and right on is the Jersey Shore one? I love how the kid who played The Situation kept showing his “Situation.” And I think the little girl who played Snooki might actually be taller than the real one. Seriously I have seen the real one in person and believe me it is not that hard to do.
Now let’s move on to the The Hills. Make sure to watch it all the way through because what they did to Heidi Montag is f*cking brilliant. Plus the girl who plays Audrina got her infamous pose, you know which one I am talking about. BTW I have never seen the show (because I am sadist and not a masochist), do the people on The Hills really keep their mouths open like that?
Two fist pumps up to Babbelgum on these cute recreations!
Looks like Matt Damon is trying for a boy because he wife Luciana is pregnant with their third child together and her fourth according to Us Weekly. Matt and Luciana already have 3 daughters Alexia, 11 (from her first husband), Isabella, 3 and Gia, 15 months. No word when Matt’s latest bundle of joy will be upon us, but hopefully he will finally get a son! Not only to pass on his good looks, but to give his distant cousin Ben Affleck a husband for one of his daughters. Could you imagine the BFFs being in-laws? Oy!
BTW when it comes to Ben and Matt their four daughters were all born very close to each other’s birth dates. I wonder if now that Luciana is pregnant if Jennifer Garner is looking to add another flower to their family bouquet?
Yesterday on Dancing with the Stars we saw Pamela Anderson like we have never seen her before. Not just with a slip on, but with a short brown wig. Normally I think some people who are not natural blondes who become bleached blondes look better when they go back to a color that is closer their natural one, but not Pamela. That wig so didn’t work for her. It actually aged more than she already ages herself. And for some reason I don’t know why, but she reminded me of Lisa Rinna with that fake do.
Positive note: Damian Whitewood has a really nice butt! I didn’t say the positive note was going to be about her, did I?
Tune in to DWTS on ABC tonight at 8p to find if we will see the Baywatch star with another new look next week, or if the brown do will do her in. I am really hoping she stays until the end because we have already lost Shannen Doherty and Kate Gosselin and we can’t afford to lose her too. Please take my jiggly parts already.
