Bret Michaels suffers 'stroke warning'

Bret Michaels has suffered what doctors call "a blow" warning ", or transient ischemic attack, according to its website.

The rocker, 47 - who is still recovering from a brain haemorrhage - was "readmitted to the hospital this week after he suffered numbness on the left side of his body, especially the face and hands," a statement on its website.



While undergoing tests - including an MRI and CT - Doctors have also discovered that he had a hole in his heart.



The news was "devastating ... to Bret and his family," said her neurosurgeon, Dr. Joseph Zabramski. Michaels has two daughters, Raine, 10, Jorja, 5, with ex-girlfriend Kristi Lynn Gibson.

Continues Dr. Zabramski, "The good news is that it is usable and workable and we think we may have diagnosed the problem that caused the stroke warning ... but we believe it is highly unlikely that this is related to cerebral hemorrhage he suffered several weeks earlier. Again, it is great that he responded quickly to severe numbness and arrived at the hospital immediately. "



Dr. Zabramski adds: "I realize Bret wants to make a full recovery so he can be active with family, attempting to attend the final of Celebrity Apprentice and especially to get back on the road to continue to make music. Without doubt it is quite determined to get healthy and make a recovery of 100 percent.



'Medically speaking, it is a fantastic attitude both mentally and physically for him to have. However, the brain and body Bret are not quite 100 percent but above the hole in his heart. "



Affirms that its representative Janna Elias, "Bret wants everyone to know he can not thank you enough for all the good wishes, prayers and good vibes you sent his way. Although recent months have been tough on him and his family, especially this latest setback, he is cheerful, large hands and health is positive and hope everything will be OK. He is standing, walking, talking, continuing his rehabilitation daily and very happy to be alive, but he made clear he is sick and tired of being in hospital and is ready to switch again. "
