LOS ANGELES, April 30 (UPI) -- U.S. rocker and reality television personality Bret Michaels remains hospitalized in Arizona a week after suffering a brain hemorrhage.
Michaels, 47, is best known as the front man for the band Poison. He is also a contestant on the current season of TV's "The Celebrity Apprentice." He was hospitalized last Thursday after complaining of a tremendous headache.
"We thank you for your continued support and well wishes," said a message posted on his Facebook page Thursday.
"Bret remains in critical condition in ICU under 24-hour supervision by doctors and medical staff. If a patient survives the initial rupture, the first 7 to 10 days after are the most critical as an additional rupture or other complications may arise," the posting continued. "Doctors are also continuing to treat Bret for the hyponatremia (which is described as a lack of sodium in the body that leads to seizures) and today he will be undergoing more testing. … There will be a press conference on Tuesday at which doctors who have been treating Bret will further explain his condition, treatment and prognosis. Location and time of the press conference will be released Friday."
