Bobbi Kristina Brown’s aunt Pat Houston says that Bobbi, who spent her 22nd birthday on life support, is still hanging in there.
Patricia, the sister-in-law of the late Whitney Houston, who died three years ago under similar circumstances, released a statement via the Bodyguard singer’s website on the day of Bobbi’s 22nd birthday.
“Today is Bobbi Kristina’s 22nd birthday,” wrote Pat.
“And we ask you to continue to keep her in your prayers as she is still fighting the battle of her life.”
Pat signed her statement: “Patricia Houston, President, The Whitney Houston Estate.”
Pat also accompanied her update with an old image of Whitney and Bobbi Kristina together.
When she died, Whitney Houston left her fortune (and what’s believed to be a significant amount of debt) to her daughter Bobbi Kristina in its entirety. The money was put into a trust which for Bobbi to access a portion of when she turns 21, with Pat Houston as the executor.
The future continues to remain uncertain for Bobbi Kristina, 21, whose life has hung in the balance since she was first found, unresponsive, in the bathtub at the start of February.
The most recent update on Bobbi Kristina’s condition was that she was briefly lifted out of her medically-induced coma at the end of February only to begin having seizures and be placed back under again.
“She was taken off the drugs, but she began having violent seizures,” a family source toldPeoplemagazine.
“She is being put back into a coma.”
Although being taken out of the coma seemed like positive news, the future now continues to remain uncertain for the 22-year-old.
“Bobby is beside himself,” the source said of Bobbi Kristina’s father and his feelings on the most recent development.
As well as her father, Bobbi Kristina’s extended family members have rallied around her for what they thought believed could be the last time, to say their farewells.
“This is a horrible setback. Everyone was hopeful that this was the sign that she’d turned the corner. We were so optimistic,” the source said.
Fingers crossed for young Bobbi Kristina and her family.
