Bobby Brown is keeping hope alive as he and the Brown & Houston families hold vigil at Bobbi Kristina's bedside. Bobby was recently spotted at his hotel in Atlanta in good spirits. But other family members and other sources maintain that doctors have no hope for a recovery.
The latest updates inside...
Bobby Brown was spotted making a phone call at the W Hotel bar in Midtown Atlanta Wednesday evening (above). And we're told he looked to be in better spirits than expected.
Yesterday, there were conflicting reports about whether doctors told family members to say their goodbyes to 21-year-old Bobbi Kristina Brown. Credible news sources reported doctors want the family to come to terms about her health and say goodbye.
But Bobby Brown's lawyer issued a statement saying it was untrue.
Still, following that statement, family member Jerod Brown confirmed that doctors have no hope for a recovery. But he made it clear the family is holding out for a miracle. He posted the above picture and stated yesterday on his Facebook page:
Hey y'all, a few of you all have been messaging me , commenting under photos about her condition....Though it seems the odds are against her, though doctors don't see any hope for change, though we might want to play detective and find out how she got there, though it looks impossible for her to stand again STILL PRAY FOR BK #StillPrayForBK Campaign starts NOW! Bobbi Kristina Houston'Gordon
It could be semantics at this point about what the family is/isn't being told about Bobbi Kristina's status. And, as expected from a father, Bobby could be attempting to stave off any negative words or energy about his baby girl's health, despite the actuality of the situation.
It also appears Bobbi Kris' family is indeed NOT on one accord about handling Bobbi Kristina's dire situation, as reports ave been stating all week. NBC News Atlanta reports that just this morning, Bobby's sister Tina Brown hit Shayne Brown (Bobby's cousin) in the head with a bottle during a fight at the W Hotel:
According to Atlanta Police, Tina Brown hit Shayne Brown in the head with a bottle. Shayne Brown is a cousin of Bobby Brown, Bobbi Kristina's father; Tina Brown is Bobby Brown's sister.
Shayne Brown drove himself to a nearby hospital, while Tina Brown left the hotel before police arrived, according to Atlanta Police Officer Kim Jones. Shayne Brown was treated for lacerations to his head.
Completely unfortunate.
[UPDATE] Radar Online provided the police report. And it's a doozy. Tina Brown is actually Shayne Brown's mother. A snippet from radar about what the police report says (as written by an officer on the scene):
“Upon arrival, I spoke with [Bobby’s cousin] Mr. Shayne Brown, whom appeared to have a laceration to the left side of his forehead,” the report states. “Mr. Brown stated that he was attending a party for Bobby Brown’s birthday. Mr. Brown stated that was in a altercation with his mother about a valet parking ticket” near the bar area in the hotel.
“Mr. Brown stated that while arguing with his mother, she spit in his face and hit him on his head with a glass bottle,” the report claimed, noting that a witness corroborated Shayne’s version of the events.
By then, his mom Anita “Tina” Brown had left the scene. Shayne insisted he didn’t want to press charges, but he did drive to the hospital, where cops took photos of his injuries.
[UPDATE 2] The 9-1-1 call has been released, which you can listen to here. Cissy Houston has also arrived to the hospital today to visit Bobbi Kris. Tyler Perry flew her in on his private jet.
TMZ reports today that Bobby Brown is holding out for a miracle from God, and that is why he will not take his baby girl off life support. And this could be one of the reasons for the fights amongst the family members. According to the site:
Bobby's feelings are not shared by doctors, who have advised him she will not improve and pulling life support is an appropriate action. But Brown and his family -- who are deeply religious -- believe doctors cannot account for miracles ... miracles the family has seen before.
We're told Bobbi Kristina's condition has remained the same since Monday morning ... her brain functions are minimal and there has been no improvement.
Family sources say this has been an ongoing discussion and they believe Brown could come around to the doctor's point of view as time goes on ... but as of late Thursday he's not budging.
When his daughter was transferred to Emory University Hospital Tuesday Brown was hopeful the renowned staff could do something, but the fact that there's been no change is what doctors believe is the handwriting on the wall.
We'll keep you posted on all developments.
