Faith and prayer are the vitamins of the soul; man cannot live in health without them.—-Mahalia Jackson
The power of prayer has a way of granting miracles. Thus the case of Bobbi Kristina Brown.
Bobbi Kristina Brown has awakened from the coma she’s been in for over a month and a half a source close to her family tells crownheightsmom.com exclusively.
“Bobbi Kristina is out of the coma” says a source close to the 22-year old’s family . “She is opening her eyes but isn’t talking yet,” adds the source.
For family and friends of the aspiring singer and especially for her father R&B singer Bobby Brown this must come as the best news since that fateful Jan. 31, 2015 day when Bobbi Kristina was found unresponsive in the Roswell, Georgia home she shared with boyfriend Nick Gordon. She was found unconscious and in a bathtub – eerily similar to how her mother Whitney Houston had died in 2012.
“Krissi awakened about two weeks ago,” says the source close to her family. Could Bobby Brown have hinted at this news in a March 3 press release his lawyer sent out saying, “We thank everyone that supports Bobbi Kristina and God is hearing our prayers.”
One can imagine how thankful Bobby Brown must be feeling. The singer has continuously asked for prayers for his daughter Bobbi Kristina and as the weeks have gone by and we have seen the pictures of his daily trips to and from the hospital to be at her bedside. He has been a dad who is enduring what happened to his daughter publicly while asking for privacy from the press as he continues trying to hold it all together for himself and his family while the criminal investigation continues into how his daughter ended up in the condition she’s in . Most parents would prefer to never go through a situation like this, but if they had to be in a situation like this they would prefer to go through it privately. It is good to see that the R&B star has held firm to his faith to pull him through and to see that in some ways these prayers are being answered. Crownheightsmom reached out to Bobby Brown’s camp for a response and was told to refer to what Bobby has said in his press releases, saying, “We continue to request privacy in regards to my daughter’s medical condition. We thank everyone that supports Bobbi Kristina and God is hearing our prayers.”
Not out of the woods though progressing slowly . “She is not recognizing people’s faces but she has eye movement and is responsive to voices and touch,” the source tells crownheightsmom exclusively. This progress, says the source, is what prompted the family to move her from Emory Hospital to a specialized facility, still in Georgia, that can better treat her.
Visitors to see Bobbi Kristina since her improvement have included her grandmother Cissy Houston, 81 who arrived about a week ago to visit her granddaughter says the source. Cissy last visited in early February. As of this writing Cissy is reported to have returned to her home in New Jersey .
It definitely feels great to hear promising news about Bobbi Kristina’s condition and as she progresses we hope to keep well wishers up to date.
As Bobbi Kristina’s condition continues to improve the source close to the family adds, ” I would like to ask people to keep praying for Bobbi Kristina. She still has a long way to go.”
