Almost five months after she was first hospitalised on January 31, Bobbi Kristina Brown has been moved into hospice care, her family disclosed on Wednesday.
The 22-year-old has been under constant medical supervision since January, when she was found face down and unresponsive in a tub at her home near Atlanta, Georgia.
“Despite the great medical care at numerous facilities, Bobbi Kristina Brown’s condition has continued to deteriorate,” the 22-year-old’s aunt, Pat Houston said.
Bobbi is the only child of singers Bobby Brown and the late Whitney Houston who was herself found unresponsive in a bathtub in February 2012.
“As of today, she has been moved into hospice care,” Pat shared on behalf of the family. “We thank everyone for their support and prayers. She is in God’s hands now.”
Initially hospitalised in a medically induced coma at North Fulton Hospital in Roswell, she was later moved to Emory University Hospital in Atlanta, and then to an undisclosed rehabilitation facility in March.
Updates about her condition have been vague, but grandmother Cissy Houston said in May that she was “not progressing at all” in rehab.
“I’m just waiting for whatever happens,” Cissy told Entertainment Tonight. “We go to the hospital every day and pray and I talk to her because she can still hear and I rub her hand. We do what we can do. The rest is…all up to Him.”
More recently, Bobbi Kristina’s father Bobby Brown — who was named a co-guardian with Pat last month — said he was “making decisions” and working with Pat for the medical care of his daughter.
“Right now we are focused on Bobbi Kristina’s medical prognosis and the criminal investigation,” he said on June 19. “Whoever had a hand in causing my daughter’s injuries needs to be brought to justice.”
TMZ reports that the family consulted with a top brain specialist last week in Chicago who told them Bobbi had “no hope” of pulling out of the coma.
Her father is yet to comment on the latest news.
