Bobbi Kristina Brown Update: Cissy Houston Breaks Silence, Says There's 'Still Not a Great Deal of Hope' for Granddaughter's Recovery
For the first time since she was found unresponsive in her Georgia home and placed in a medically induced coma almost two months ago, Cissy Houston is speaking out about granddaughter Bobbi Kristina Brown's condition.
"They've moved her now to a place for rehabilitation and you know, still not a great deal of hope," said the mother of late singing star Whitney Houston during a WBLS radio interview. "If he works a miracle, thank God. If it happens the other way, I'm alright."
Brown, who turned just 22 earlier this month, was discovered face down in a bathtub by boyfriend Nick Gordon in the home they shared in late January. Police have since started a criminal probe of the incident after authorities detected a number of unexplained injuries on Bobbi Kristina's body.
Gordon, 25, recently appeared on an episode of the "Dr. Phil" show, where his mother told the host the couple went out drinking the night before Brown's body was found. She admitted they got into an argument early the next morning, prompting Gordon to retire to another room to sleep. When he awoke, he claims to have found Brown unresponsive.
Brown's ordeal came almost exactly three years after her mother's body was pulled from the bathtub of a Beverly Hills Hotel where she was staying. Authorities have since revealed Whitney Houston had drugs in her system at the time of her death.
Since she's been hospitalized, family members of the only daughter born to Houston and father Bobby Brown have asked for privacy for the family. The prayers and support have poured in.
Cissy, 81, thanked fans for their support, adding she "feels every bit" of the prayers being sent her family's way.
