Despite reports that began circulating yesterday that Bobbi Kristina‘s family had decided to turn off her life support machines, this is apparently NOT the case, and Bobbi is still alive, though barely. Yesterday was her father Bobby Brown‘s birthday, and he spent it at Bobbi’s bedside, hoping for a bit of a miracle. While doctors have told him the situation is pretty much hopeless, Bobby hopes that God will save his daughter.
From TMZ:
Bobby Brown is adamant … he doesn’t want to take his daughter Bobbi Kristina off life support because he believes in God-driven miracles.
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.
To be honest, I can’t imagine being in such an awful position. It’s been less than a week since this tragedy occurs, so I don’t think it’s unreasonable that Bobby Brown wouldn’t want to pull the plug on his daughter yet, and that he’s holding out for some kind of improvement. I don’t think it’s something you come to terms with easily, and there’s probably no small amount of guilt there, considering Bobby’s own issues with drugs and the way he and Whitney exposed Bobbi to such things from a very young age…
I think it’s too soon to pull the plug. But if the experts are saying there’s no hope, then the family needs to start that thought process.
The other side of the coin is that if they have the resources and are able to get her into a facility to continue to keep her on life support indefinitely, then they should be able to do that.
I had to make that decision once but I was complying with a living will. Eventually he will do what he believes causes her less suffering.
Spare her to live longer or open the gate in heaven Bobby?
