In January of this year, Bobbi Kristina Brown was found unresponsive in her bathroom, and her family has had wide-ranging reactions to the situation ever since, People reports.
Bobbi’s father, Bobby Brown, has been a daily presence at her rehabilitation center, often not leaving her side for several hours. He is insistent that she will recover, according to several sources.
“Doctors have indicated that she will have a long life,” Brown’s attorney said in a statement. “However, Bobbi Kristina is presently embarking on a rehabilitation process and the quality of her life will not be known for years to come.”
Bobby Brown is in regular contact with other members of his family, including siblings Tina and Leolah, providing updates on his daughter’s progress.
The Houstons have also maintained a constant vigil by Bobbi Kristina’s bedside. Her aunt and uncle, Pat and Gary Houston, are in regular attendance, alongside New Jersey-based grandmother Cissy Houston.
The families sadly remain at odds. “Everyone’s on a different page,” says a Brown family relative. “No one knows what anyone else’s motivations are. It’s ugly.”
On Saturday, Bobby told a crowd that his daughter with Whitney Houston “is awake.” The next day, Cissy came out with her own statement, saying that her granddaughter has irreversible brain damage and remains unconscious.
Bobbi Kristina’s aunt issued some pointed allegations of her own: Leolah, Bobby’s sister, commented on Facebook that people may “hear from those who wish to see my niece go away forever” and said those people “lust after Bobbi Kristina’s money and seek to benefit from her tragedy.”
Whatever differences the Browns and Houstons may have, they remain united on two fronts: One, Bobbi Kristina’s boyfriend, Nick Gordon, remains barred from the facility where she is housed. Gordon, who recently had a stint in rehab, has not visited Bobbi Kristina in more than a month.
Two, the family will not give up. “We continue to pray for a miracle,” says the Brown source, “and we will continue to pray until we get one.”
