Bobbi Kristina Brown Latest Update: Comes Out of Coma With ‘Irreversible’ Brain Damage
Bobbi Kristina Brown, the daughter of Bobby Brown and the late singer, Whitney Houston is reportedly no longer in a medically induced coma. Despite the change in her health status, the 22-year-old's grandmother, Cissy Houston revealed that Bobbi has "global and irreversible brain damage."
In the statement released Monday, Houston stated that Bobbi is still unresponsive.
"Meeting with the doctors and understanding that she can live in this condition for a lifetime truly saddens me. We can only trust in God for a miracle at this time," she said.
CNN received word from a source with knowledge of Bobbi's status that matched Houston's statement. The source told CNN that Bobbi is not responding to any of her visitors and reportedly has a tracheostomy in her throat. Bobbi also reportedly cannot track people's movements with her eyes.
Houston and the source's account of Bobbi's condition slightly contradicts her father's report. Brown had told the audience at Dallas' Verizon Theatre on Saturday that his daughter was awake and watching him.
Brown's lawyer, Christopher Brown also clarified Bobbi's condition.
The attorney said, "Bobbi Kristina's condition has changed since moving from Emory University Hospital and there has been improvement. Doctors have indicated that she will have a long life. However, Bobbi Kristina is presently embarking on a rehabilitation process and the quality of her life will not be known for years to come."
Bobbi has been hospitalized since January 31 when she was found unresponsive in a bathtub at her Roswell, Georgia home. She was placed in a medically induced coma at Emory University Hospital. After several weeks, Bobbi's family moved her to an undisclosed center. Her case is being treated as a criminal investigation by the police.
Bobbi's aunt, Leolah Brown, the sister of Bobby Brown, believes that there was foul play in Bobbi's incident.
She wrote on Facebook, "I am angry right now because some evil pitiful person took advantage of my niece Bobbi Kriss and caused her to be where she is today! They smile real nice and seem so polite - meanwhile, they continue to plot evil against you."
Although Leolah did not specify who she thinks is responsible, she has previously blamed Bobbi's boyfriend, Nick Gordon.
