Bret Michaels Said To Be In Critical Condition

The cause of Bret’s subarachnoid hemorrhage, which means bleeding at the base of the brain stem, is not known.

What is a brain hemorrhage?

A brain hemorrhage is a type of stroke. It’s caused by an artery in the brain bursting and causing localized bleeding in the surrounding tissues. This bleeding kills brain cells.

When blood from a traumairritates brain tissues, it causes swelling. This is known as cerebral edema. The pooled blood collects into a mass called a hematoma. These conditions increase pressure on nearby brain tissue, and that reduces vital blood flow and kills brain cells.

If these reports are true that we are reading, then we need to be praying for Brett Michaels life, and that he is able to pull out of this terrible situation.

A brain hemorrhage is a very serious matter, and if it doesn’t take someone’s life, then it could very easily cause long term mental and physical damage.
