So sad. She was born in the same hospital as both my kids, about 5 weeks after D1. Right around that time I had an a follow up w my OB and asked him about it. He said the maternity wing was a zoo w Whitney having guards outside her room and everyone coming into that wing had to be on an approved list. He was not happy for one of his patients had a room near hers and the patents family found it very disruptive.
Today is Bobby Brown’s birthday. It would be a horrible day to have to make that choice. Ugh.
The family is reportedly denying that they are saying goodbye, and that the family is agathering no differently than other days. But… http://www.11alive.com/story/news/local/roswell/2015/02/01/bobby-brown-whitney-houston-bobbi-kristina/22705139/
Bobby Brown just released a statement saying it is false and he can’t be putting out statements to dispute all false reports or something to that effect. Meanwhile, another family member says there is nothing more to do. So, it seems fair to surmise there is discord and things are not looking hopeful at all.
Read above. It says the family is DENYING the reports that they are gathering to say goodbye, that the Drs say there is nothing they cvan do or that her life support has been discontinued. They commented that the international news media are camped outside and are putting out bad information.
There is no conflict between those two posts. Personally, I believe they are waiting for the grandmother to arrive. But none of us are going to know for sure what they decide to do in this unfortunate situation until something changes and there is an official announcement. My post was about the latest statement from BB which happened.

I find it awful that it seems they are basically throwing Nick Gordon under the bus. Bobbi stated a number of times they were married. There are only 2 reasons to state they aren’t married at this point. Money and that they don’t want him to have any say in what happens to Bobbi. Hopefully he is still being allowed to see her.
@MichiganGeorgia, a 3rd reason to state they aren’t married would be because they aren’t married. It’s possible they know something we don’t.
I have no idea if BK and Gordon were or were not married, but if they were legally married, it should be pretty easy for him to prove.
Was watching ABC news with David Muir. Their report states that family reps completely deny that BK has been taken off life support as reported.
Secondly, the report stated that Bobby Brown’s lawyer states that BK and DG are not and never were married. He adds, “Bobbi Kristina’s representatives confirm this as well.”
I have no idea how solid that is, but this is a MSM report rather than TMZ or something of that nature.
Didn’t say there was. Rather, it seemed that the content might have been missed or overlooked as it was repeating the same thing.
No, it was different things. I posted BB’s statement, the family is the Houstons. Not that it matters.
Correct, it **doesn’t **matter. Its semantics. They are all “family” even if they don’t get along. Who knows who was releasing or leaking information ( good, bad or otherwise), but it seems that BB has now been determined to be the one in charge of decisions. News, as of this very second ( am watching the news as I type) says there continues to be conflicting information, They are saying that BB wants to wait until after the weekend to make any decisions, and there are also reports that Cissy (Whitney’s mother) had trouble getting there due to weather and health issues, but supposedly has arrived.
Meant to add that there is a cousin, Jerod Brown, who has been talking to various members of the media. Whether he is paraphrasing or merely reframing things in his own words, thats how conflicting info can surface. Or perhaps he is disclosing something said during the course of a conversation that may be taken out of context. For example, and this is hypothetical, the family might have been told by the Emory treatment team during an update that they are doing everything they can do for BKB and that for the moment there is nothing else to do but give her time to see if the brain swelling will abate, and if/when they are able to lighten her sedation they can test for electrical activity, etc again at that time, when the medication effects will have lessened. That could be relayed as “there is nothing else they can do”, which may or may not be completely accurate. When there is brain swelling from an insult or injury, they sometimes put in a cranial pressure gauge to monitor intracranial pressure. There are both invasive and noninvasive procedures to monitor or attempt to reduce ICP. Won’t expound here, as it isn’t relevant and we don’t know which procedures are being used.
There was also a report on one of the local channels by a reporter who claims to have “a source very close to the family”. What may be shared is conjecture or paraphrasing. It seems that BB is trying to take control of communication, but its likely the media will continue to try to get information from their “sources”, especially if the family is not providing any scheduled updates, which is of course their right.
Such a sad situation for this young girl and family with such discord.
Just saw on MSNBC website that Bobby doesn’t want to take her off life support, that he thinks a miracle can happen… ugh! I swear last week, I kept thinking don’t let this turn into another Jahi MacBeth situation. Not that it has, but the fact that there’s a case out there setting a precedent must make him think twice.
And now there is a report out that there was a fight at a hotel this morning and Tina Brown ( BB’s sister) hit Shayne Brown(BB’s cousin) in the head with a bottle. He went to a hospital for treatment and she left before police arrived…
There are two camps. One controls the end of life decision and one controls the estate. The two camps have been putting out official statements. One is BB and the other is referred to as “the family.” In addition, there is quite the colorful cast of characters speaking unofficially to whoever will listen. This is what always happens in news gathering.
To clarify.
Nice. =D> (rolls eyes)
Ugh Michigangeorgia. I so hope this doesn’t become a circus

holy smokes! Is the entire family dysfunctional? If so, no wonder this poor girl didn’t stand a chance.
Pretty much yes, as anyone who watched any of their reality shows has known for decades. Reports are that they got into a big brawl at dinner and when he called her a crackhead she slammed him with a bottle. Ugh.
