Bret Michaels' reps confirmed he suffered a "setback" in his recovery from a brain hemorrhage. He is now at risk for seizures.
Test results show Bret is experiencing hyponatremia. That's a side effect from the hemorrhage, which was caused by a lack of sodium in the body. That condition can lead to seizures.
But even with the setback, doctors are still hopeful Bret will improve. A doctor said: "he will improve as the blood surrounding the brain dissolves and is reabsorbed into his system. It can be a very painful recovery and could take several weeks to months."
Bret's reps also said that he is under 24-hour observation in the ICU and is in positive spirits. He is also responding well to tests and treatments.

Wally said: "Well, the fact that he was talking to me and giving me information, I thought that was great. I understood that this was a terrible ordeal that he was going through. We're not getting information right now. I guess no news is good news." "He sounded a little slow, but fine. He was talking, not as cheerful as he usually is. But I guess he is under sedation. But he understood what he was saying and knew me. Everything seemed good that way."
