Last week after his performance at the Roxy Theatre in Saskatoon Jason Chamakese went home but soon began to complain about a headache.
During the middle of the night he collapsed twice and was rushed to the Royal University Hospital in Saskatoon.
Moments later he suffered a stroke that forced doctors to place him in a coma to reduce brain swelling.
Evan Chamakese says his uncle is more alert today but the doctors didn’t have very good news to share with the family.
“He seems to be doing a lot better. Its just in the last two days family has really been struggling with just dealing with everything,” says Chamakese. “The doctors were straight out and said that he most likely not be the same.”
Jason Chamakese suffered brain damage that affects his fine motor skills and mobility.
The Chamakese family is raising money to help with expenses.
