Bobbi Kristina Brown Update - The health condition of Whitney Houston's only daughter, Bobbi Kristina Brown, has still remained unchanged after almost three weeks since her drowning incident on Jan. 31. According to USA Today, doctors have removed Bobbi Kristina's breathing tube.
After the removal from the ventilator, is Bobbi Kristina Brown now out of danger? Well, the answer is no. Her condition is still critical. On Tuesday, New York Daily News reported 21-year-old Bobbi Kristina underwent tracheotomy, a surgical procedure to create an opening (tracheostomy) through the front of her neck and into her trachea (windpipe).
A family source stated there has been no official update on Bobbi Kristina Brown's health status. And the removal from the ventilator does not necessarily indicate any decision has been made as to her life support. The source also added the medical procedure that Bobbi Kristina underwent was a normal method done after a certain amount of time to prevent infections.
"The tracheotomy is a different place for the tube to go," the family source told PEOPLE. "Everything else remains the same. It's a waiting game. The family is hoping and waiting. She is still critical and we don't know what the outcome will be. No one is giving up on this kid."
This past weekend, Bobbi Kristina Brown's condition has remained dire as her family including Bobby Brown, her father and grandmother Cissy Houston keep a bedside vigil. But though her health has not changed, the procedure has made an impact to Bobbi Kristina's family.
"There's a medical reason behind [the tracheotomy], but it's making things clear to everyone how serious this is," another source stated. "Even if she wakes up, there's a possibility that this could do some damage to her vocal chords, I hear. This is happening because there are no other options..."
In the latest and most dramatic development of Bobbi Kristina Brown's medical crisis, Radar Online learned the breathing tube was taken because of complications. Though the claim may raise some concern, a source of the site insisted that Bobbi Kristina is still alive and everyone has been praying for her.
"She is still alive. Everyone is praying for her," the source said. "She is young and she is strong. At the same time, everybody knows that she remains in a critical conditions. But there is no talk at this point about 'pulling the plug.'"
Meanwhile, the latest update on Bobbi Kristina Brown's condition came after her self-described husband, Nick Gordon, has expressed his desires for a hospital access, E! News reported. As stated by his lawyer on Wednesday, Gordon has been trying to do everything he can to visit Bobbi Kristina cooperatively.
