  • Bobbi Kristina Brown Will Reportedly Be Kept On Life Support For Now

    Bobbi Kristina Brown’s family has no plans to take her off life support for now, a family source reportedly told ET Wednesday.

    According to the source, Bobbi Kristina’s family met yesterday to decide whether to keep the daughter of Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown on life support and in a medically-induced coma.

    ET reports that the final decision is legally up to Bobby Brown and the source said he is the most upbeat that they’ve heard him sound since the ordeal began, but gave no indication that he’s even considering taking his 21-year-old daughter off life support.

    Bobbi Kristina Brown was discovered unresponsive in her bathtub on Jan. 31, and was rushed to a hospital in Rosewell, Georgia.

    While the family seemingly refuses to give up, Dr. Julian Bragg, a neurologist at Midtown Neurology in Atlanta, who is not one of Bobbi Kristina’s doctors, told ET that patients in her condition may have significant brain damage.

    “Normally patients like this have significant injury to the brain stem, which controls very basic functions such as breathing,” Dr. Bragg said.

    He also said that assuming the brain stem is still functional, it is possible for a patient to “live indefinitely off the ventilator as long as continued nutrition is supplied.”

    The long-term affects of being on a ventilator are extensive, said Bragg.

    “After spending more than two weeks in a medically induced coma, or for any cause, the body goes through a number of changes,” he said. “There is a significant decrease in muscle strength both in terms of moving the limbs and in terms of breathing. Often people require extensive strengthening not only in being able to sit, stand and move around, but even simpler things like swallowing and breathing.”

  • Bobbi Kristina Brown’s Boyfriend, Nick Gordon, Speaks For the First Time Refuting Claims by Brown Family

    Bobbi Kristina Brown‘s boyfriend, Nick Gordon, has spoken out for the first time since he found her unresponsive in a bathtub on Jan. 31.

    In his first public statement, Nick Gordon says he is praying for Bobbi Kristina Brown and is refuting claims made by the Brown family that he is taking legal action to be able to see her.

    Bobbi Kristina’s cousin, Jarod Brown, told Atlanta’s WXIA-TV on Thursday that Gordon, 25, was pursuing legal means to see his girlfriend, saying he had been barred from her hospital room after a heated argument.

    Nick Gordon is refuting those claims through his lawyer.

    “In response to reports that Nick Gordon is taking legal action, he would like it to be clear, he is not,” attorney Randy Kessler said in a statement. “Mr. Gordon’s only concern is the recovery of Bobbi Kristina. “Mr. Gordon’s only concern is the recovery of Bobbi Kristina. He remains in constant prayer for his companion and he hopes to be reunited with her soon”

    “Despite the incredible public interest, we ask and hope that this request can be resolved privately by Mr. Gordon and the family,” Kessler added.

    Meanwhile, Bobbi Kristina Brown, 21, remains on life support, is breathing with the help of a ventilator and has not regained consciousness since she was admitted to the hospital two weeks ago.

    Nick Gordon is reportedly the focus of a police investigation over possible “foul play” in the incident. Investigators are considering suspicious wounds on Bobbi Kristina’s head and around her mouth.

  • Bobbi Kristina Brown: Is There Hope For Her Recovery?

    Bobbi Kristina Brown remains on life support, is breathing with the help of a ventilator, and has not regained consciousness since she was admitted to the hospital after being found facedown and unresponsive in the bathtub of her Atlanta area home on Jan. 31.

    Many are wondering whether Whitney Houston’s only daughter can pull out of her coma and have a complete recovery? According to the family, friends and even doctors, it’s just impossible to tell at this point.

    “She’s got some color back,” a family member told People magazine, “but she’s still not responding.”

    Much of the confusion over the status of Bobbi Kristina Brown’s condition comes from the family itself, with various family members reporting different things.

    As for Bobby Brown, who has remained silent for the most part on his daughter’s condition, has shot down many reports about his daughter’s situation as “egregious” and “false.”

    In a Facebook post, Bobbi Kristina’s cousin Jerod Brown said that doctors “don’t see any hope.”

    On the other hand, Bobbi Kristina’s aunt Leolah told FOX 5 Atlanta that while Bobbi Kristina is “still on life support,” she is “opening her eyes … There are a couple more things that she’s doing but Krissi is doing well right now.”

    Another family member insists, “She is not brain dead. There is hope.”

    People magazine cites a doctor who told them that her hope for recovery depends on how long she went without air.

    “Even minutes [without air] can be grim,” said neurologist Eli Zimmerman of Massachusetts General Hospital.

    In all reality, it is just too difficult to determine if Bobbi Kristina will recover.

    And while there are varying reports on the exact condition of Bobbi Kristina, the family stands united amid the confusion.

    “Everyone may be giving different stories, but that’s because it’s so confusing,” the family member told People.

    “No one is trying to mislead anyone. Everyone is still praying for her. That’s what matters.”

    Meanwhile, Bobbi Kristina’s boyfriend Nick Gordon, who is reportedly the focus of an investigation into the events surrounding the morning Bobbi Kristina was found, is suing for the right to visit his girlfriend at the hopital after he was banned from her room following a heated argument with Bobbi Kristina’s family.

  • Bobbi Kristina Brown’s Boyfriend Nick Gordon Reportedly Under Investigation For Possible Foul Play

    Bobbi Kristina Brown’s boyfriend Nick Gordon is reportedly the focus of an investigation underway in in Georgia in Whitney Houston‘s daughter’s case.

    TMZ has reported the criminal investigation launched this week centers on possible foul play.

    Authorities reportedly told CNN that certain injuries sustained by Bobby Kristina Brown “piqued their interest.”

    “We do not know the nature of the injuries,” claimed TMZ, but they say multiple sources have said there is a history of violence between the couple.

    On Tuesday, an attorney for Bobby Brown issued a statement denying the couple were married and confirming that the family also was investigating the incident.

    “We are currently investigating the events that led to the hospitalization of Bobbi Kristina,” Christopher Brown of Brown & Rosen LLC said in the statement. “To correct earlier reports, Bobbi Kristina is not and has never been married to Nick Gordon.”

    Police are said to be looking into a possible altercation that may have occurred more than an hour before Bobbi Kristina was found submerged facedown in a bathtub.

    Max Lomas, the friend who discovered Bobbi Kristina in the tub, reportedly arrived at her home around 9 a.m. on Jan. 31.

    TMZ reports that Lomas said he hung out with Nick, but Bobbi Kristina was nowhere to be found. When he asked where she was, he was told she was in the bedroom. Nick apparently then wandered away, but Lomas told the website he didn’t pay attention to his whereabouts.

    The website further claims a cable technician arrived shortly after 10 a.m. and Lomas said he let him in. When the technician said he needed access to the bedroom, that is the moment when Gordon discovered Bobbi Kristina facedown in the tub. Lomas said he screamed for Gordon, who ran in and administered CPR before first responders arrived and continued attempts to resuscitate Bobbi Kristina.

    TMZ further reports that Lomas claims Nick Gordon allegedly cleaned up the home and removed blood stains.

    Roswell Police Chief Rusty Grant told People magazine that the police are “going to follow the evidence and see where it leads us.”

  • Bobbi Kristina Brown Not Married To Nick Gordon

    Bobbi Kristina Brown is not married to Nick Gordon, said a statement from Bobby Brown’s lawyer.

    Bobbi Kristina is fighting for her life right now in a medically induced coma and her family is by her side. That includes Nick Gordon, who is now known as her longtime boyfriend.

    The two of them never married despite Bobbi Kristina’s talk about being a newlywed in numerous interviews.

    “We are currently investigating the events that led to the hospitalization of Bobbi Kristina,” Christopher Brown of Brown & Rosen LLC, legal counsel for Bobby Brown, said in a statement on Tuesday evening.

    The statement also said, “To correct earlier reports, Bobbi Kristina is not and has never been married to Nick Gordon.”

    She was found by Nick Gordon, who was reported as her husband at the time, and a man who was arrested on drug charges last month, Maxwell Lomas.

    Bobbi Kristina now lays in a medically induced coma in a hospital bed surrounded by her family. They come in two or three at a time to sit with her and wait for a sign that she will pull through, though doctors have already told family to prepare for the worst.

    “The swelling [in her brain] has gone down,” says a family source. “The doctor says that that by itself isn’t the smoking gun that she’s getting better, but it’s still a good sign. But she’s still not reacting.”

    One of her family members told People, “If she’s in there somewhere, we want her to hear us. We keep it positive. We tell her that God loves her, that we love her. That America is praying for her and that everyone loves her.”

    Time is of the essence for Bobbi Kristina Brown. Will she pull through and get that second chance at life that her mother didn’t have? Time will tell.

    Police spokeswoman Lisa Holland said when Bobbi Kristina Brown was found, she was “unresponsive, meaning not breathing, no heartbeat.”

    She added that over the scanner, emergency services described an “ECHO-level response”, meaning urgent and life threatening, with “possible cardiac arrest.”

    Will Bobbi Kristina Brown be able to pull through?

  • Bobbi Kristina Brown Breathing Again In Hospital

    Bobbi Kristina Brown, the daughter of the late Whitney Houston and singer Bobby Brown, was found unresponsive in a bathtub on Saturday.

    TMZ reports that she has been revived and is breathing.

    She was found by her husband and one of her friends in a home in Roswell, Georgia, police said.

    Bobbi Kristina‘s husband and friend immediately began CPR.

    Officers arrived at 10:25 a.m. at the home.

    They found Bobbi Kristina still unresponsive, so they began to perform life-saving protocols until rescue personnel was able to get there.

    Bobbi Kristina’s mother was found in an eerily similar condition shortly before her death on February 11th, 2012.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YkZ8e8CUs8E

    She was found unresponsive in a bathtub in a Beverly Hills, California hotel suite.

    Whitney Houston had struggled for years with cocaine, marijuana, and pills.

    She also had a widely publicized and tumultuous life.

    In her last days, her behavior had become unpredictable and erratic. Investigators found numerous prescription drug bottles in the hotel suite.

    An autopsy determined that Whitney Houston drowned accidentally, but heart disease and cocaine were also listed as contributing factors in her untimely death.

    Houston was a pop superstar with a voice that was distinct and recognizable for its power and sound.

    However, her family life with her husband, singer Bobby Brown, and their daughter, Bobbi Kristina, was tabloid fodder for most of their married life and for years after their marriage crumbled.

    Drug use and alleged physical abuse plagued their relationship and tarnished Whitney Houston’s reputation.

    Hopefully Bobbi Kristina will pull through and have a second chance at life.
