"Minor setback" in Bret Michaels's recovery, says rep.

Bret Michaels's recovery from his brain hemorrhage has undergone a "minor setback" which can lead to seizures.

"Michaels remains under 24-hour observation in the ICU and is in positive spirits. He is responding well to tests and treatments," the reps say in a statement. "Even though today was a minor setback, doctors remain hopeful for a full recovery."

The 47 year-old rocker suffers from a side effect called hyponatremia -- a lack of sodium in the body, which leads to seizures.

The doctors are "hopeful that Bret will gradually improve as the blood surrounding the brain dissolves and is reabsorbed into his system, which can be a very painful recovery and take several weeks to months."
