Fayette County

Commissioner Peter Pfeifer remained in intensive care Wednesday at Piedmont

Hospital after a crippling headache sent him there last Thursday.

Fayette County

Commission Chairman Greg Dunn said he's spoken with Pfeifer several times

since the incident, and said he's in good spirits.

Doctors are

still trying to determine the exact nature of his illness, Dunn added.

"He had

a really excruciating headache Thursday and went to the hospital. Right

now, they're calling it a brain bleed," Dunn said.

The doctors

first thought it could be an aneurysm or a stroke, but Dunn said the diagnosis

will have to wait until the doctors can get a clear picture of his brain.

"Right

now, it's still murky," Dunn said.

Dunn does not

expect the commissioner to return home from the hospital this week, and

said it could be up to two months before Pfeifer returns to county commission

meetings.

Pfeifer lives

in Peachtree City.
