Bobbi Kristina Brown Found Unconscious in Bathtub

[rollo]

I believe Cissy and it's sad but they should let her go.

[mostroop]

Her eyes may be open part of the time and her dad is finding hope in that.

I am not a fan of Cissy, especially after finding out that her son started Whitney on hard drugs, Cissy knew this, and still blamed Bobby publicly.

[gas_chick]

I think Bobby meant spiritually and not actually awake.

I'm no fan of Cissy myself. It is everyone else's fault. Always.

As to the letting her go, Bobbi K is not dead like that poor California girl. The family would have pull her feeding tubes like Terry Schiavo. I imagine that is a much harder decision to make.

It does sound like she's in a persistent vegetative state or will be diagnosed as such in about a year. While in a PVS the patient does have eye movements; they can generally track things being moved in front of them, blinking and what appears to be sleep cycles but there's no awareness. The odds of coming out of PVS is highly unlikely- basically slim to none.

So they're just putting off the inevitable? What a waste of a life.

[Clubber Lang]

They all seems to have strong spiritual faith, surely they believe that Bobbi Christina will be reunited with her mother in a heavenly paradise once they take her off the machines?

Really? Oh God, I am so hoping for this young guy here. Every eye movement is like YES!! So basically means nothing?

According to a Saturday report by NBC affiliate 11Alive, the 46-year-old singer has filed for guardianship over daughter Bobbi Kristina's estate.

Bold move: Bobby Brown has filed for guardianship over daughter Bobbi Kristina's estate according to a Saturday report from NBC affiliate 11Alive

Bobby was spotted earlier this week spending time at the DeKalb Medical Center in Decatur, Georgia, where his daughter is being cared for.
The daughter of Whitney Houston was recently moved from Emory University Hospital - where she had been treated since being found unresponsive on January 31 - so she could be provided with long term care.
While over the weekend Bobby claimed his daughter was awake, her maternal grandmother Cissy Houston clarified to People on Monday that her granddaughter 'is no longer in a medically induced coma' but is not awake nor expected to ever fully recover.

Well if not her father, then who?

[Brookie]

Someone who will humanely deal with her real condition. Not Bobby, obviously.

[rollo]

Declaration of death followed by an investigation into her will because she is only alive in Bobby's eyes.

[snoopqueen]

I knew Bobby was going to make a move to manage some of her money...smdh

Really? Where have you read that she is brain dead? The kid is alive in a vegetative state and yep it could last for years and years and her mother's money that was left to her will go to pay for that. I'm just missing where this is such a horrible thing.

[Charmed Hour]

Really? Oh God, I am so hoping for this young guy here. Every eye movement is like YES!! So basically means nothing?

If she has irreparable global brain damage and is in what may well be a vegetative state, than yes eye movements don't mean anything of value. Being in a vegetative state means she lack awareness of self and her surroundings but non-cognitive functions remain.

[gas_chick]

Yes but it also means that machines are not keeping her alive outside of how she is getting fed so if you cut her off you will have to resign yourself to her dying much like Terry Shiavo did. Not quite the same as just shutting the breathing machine down. I personally would have a harder time making that decision for a loved one than if they were brain dead.
