*Bobbi Kristina Brown could be moving to a rehab facility.
Two sources close to the family told “Entertainment Tonight” that she may be moving from Emory University Hospital to an undisclosed rehabilitation facility in Atlanta.
The daughter of Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown has been in a medically-induced coma for seven weeks after she was found unconscious face-down in a bathtub on Jan. 31.
Two sources close to the family told “Entertainment Tonight” they’re hoping for improvements in Bobbi Kristina’s condition. A second source told “ET” that the family plans to remove the breathing tube from her throat soon to see if and how Bobbi Kristina responds.
Bobbi Kristina has been on a ventilator since shortly after arriving at North Fulton Hospital in Roswell, Ga. She was later transferred to Emory, where she turned 22 on March 4.
Bobbi Kristina’s mother, Whitney Houston, died three years ago after accidentally drowning in a hotel bathtub in Los Angeles. The effects of heart disease and cocaine use were also found to have contributed to her death.
Bobbi Kristina’s family, including father Bobby Brown and grandmother Cissy Houston, has been at the hospital and by her side, and though doctors have told them to prepare for the worst, they have been optimistic.
Legally, it is Bobby’s decision whether or when to remove his daughter from life support measures, but sources told ET weeks ago that the family was discussing together — and struggling to come to terms — with the decision.
Doctors told ET that a medically-induced coma could allow a more consistent flow of oxygen to Bobbi Kristina’s brain and heart, but also cautioned that the longer she stayed on life support, the less likely that her body would be able to function on its own. There is also a danger of damage to the brain stem.
