Bret Michaels Condition Improved by Michaels' 'Will to Live'

Bret Michaels condition reports are now getting much brighter. Yet before Bret Michaels' condition is fully disclosed at a press conference on Tuesday, a lot can still happen. For the moment, the tentative hope is that he's on the road to recovery, and will be on the mend shortly. However, the last time they were this positive, they claimed he could go back on tour soon, and then a brief setback followed. But now, even if there are still difficulties ahead, there is confidence that he can pull through. At least one doctor is wowed at Bret Michaels' condition and fight, having said as much in an early statement.

Although examiners won't give their official findings until Tuesday, one of them has touted Michaels' strength through the last week. Dr. Joseph Zabramski has worked on him since his brain hemorrhage struck on Friday, and has given the first hints of what went through his head.

When Bret Michaels' condition was at its worst, he allegedly told Zabramski that he didn't want his family to find him unconscious. This fear apparently kept him alive, and somehow, he found the strength to go on afterwards. According to Zabramski, his "sheer will to live and fully recover" is remarkable.

During this statement, the doctor confirmed that Michaels is staying in the Barrow Neurological Institute at St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center in Phoenix. Most assumed he was in a Los Angeles hospital, but that is not the case. The location was finally leaked, now that the specialists are ready to share what they know soon.

Leading up to the press conference, the Bret Michaels condition updates are steadily improving. Along with Zabramski's accounts, there are new rumors that he is conscious and starting to talk, albeit slowly. Earlier this week, these types of reports fueled rumors that he could not only recover, but return to the stage by month's end.

Now that those who have worked on Michaels are coming forward, the Bret Michaels condition stories aren't so conflicting. But of course, now that they're saying positive things about his outlook, it is easier to want to believe them. Things may look up now, but most thought things would be okay after his emergency appendectomy, and it turned out different.

However, Zabramski's statements confirm to many fans what they already know. No matter what Bret Michaels' condition is, he will not go down for the count without a fight. He has already made it through the worst so far, so anything seems possible now - assuming there are no more surprises.
