Though there is no official update on Bobbi Kristina Brown's condition, over the last week several family members have stated that the 21-year-old aspiring singer is getting better.
But now it's being reported that Bobbi Kristina underwent a tracheotomy a few days ago to help prevent her from getting an infection from her breathing tube, so it's not clear how she's holding up.
"[It's a] normal procedure after a certain amount of time on a breathing tube," a source tells Us Weekly. It was previously reported that Bobbi Kristina's father Bobby was planning on taking her off life support, but given the media frenzy surrounding the story, it seems like only a few people know what's really going on.
"Various members of the family have provided media interviews; however, none of them are approved visitors to see Bobbi Kristina," Brown's attorney said in a statement last week. "None of them have firsthand knowledge of Bobbi Kristina's treatment and the medical staff at Emory University Hospital has not communicated with them."
Brown was found facedown in her bathtub three weeks ago this Saturday, and though it was initially labeled as an accident, police have now launched a criminal investigation into the incident after discovering new evidence.
