A brain bleed is bad BAD news. Even if he lives, he will never be the same. To be honest with you, I would never expect him to be lucid again. Having said that, miracles do happen. Prayers for him and his family.
Great news according to TMZ

Ambre Lake, the Season 2 winner of “Rock of Love,” tells TMZ she’s spoken with people who are with Bret who say he’s stabilized and conscious.
Lake’s tale matches another contestant who has also spoken with Bret’s bandmates.
We’re told the next 24 to 48 hours are critical — Bret will be closely monitored.

Prayers for Bret. Hope he gets through this. I am really liking him on Celebrity Apprentice hoping he wins it.
Good News!!!
Prayers up for this decent man and a devoted family man.
For those that like the band Poison.

Hopefully he hasn’t sustained any long-term neurological damage.
I wasn’t a fan of Poison, but I hope he can pull through. He seemed to clean up his act in recent years and become a nice thoughtful person. Didn’t he form and tour with a country band in recent years? I think he did. He’s doing some TV stuff and tours with a country band.
Ping!
Still be very cautious.
From the brain aneurysm foundation:
“When a brain aneurysm ruptures, it causes bleeding into the compartment surrounding the brain, the subarachnoid space, causing a subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Often the aneurysm heals over, bleeding stops, and the person survives. In more serious cases, the bleeding may cause brain damage with paralysis or coma. In the most severe cases the bleeding leads to death.
Statistics
50% of those people die within minutes of a massive hemorrhage. Of the 50% who survive, half will suffer delayed death. The remaining survivors, depending upon the level of hemorrhage, usually live with severe long-term deficits.”
So prayers are warranted. Expect the worst, and hope for the best.
Two words: Hyperbaric Oxygen
I hope he will be OK, never knew him before, but I’ve been watching him on celeb apprentice and he seems like a sweet guy.
My dad was a diabetic, so I feel for him
poor feller...my daughter (21) loves him
Actually, Bret did have his wild period — not sure about drugs, but definitely drinking— which is not good for diabetics. But he had cleaned up in recent years. And I’ve heard that he has done some things for our troops; so whatever his politics, he ain’t all that bad.
