Bobbi Kristina Brown has been in a coma since Jan. 31 so it’s natural for there to be a lot of questions surrounding her condition. Her family has maintained she is showing progress and pulling the plug on her life support isn’t an option yet, but the daughter of the late Whitney Houston has undergone a new procedure.

Bobbi Kristina underwent a tracheotomy this week, which a family source calls a “normal procedure” that likely won’t change her condition.

The point of the procedure was just to change the location of the tube she uses to breathe to avoid infection.

“The tracheotomy is a different place for the tube to go," the source told People. "Everything else remains the same. It's a waiting game. The family is hoping and waiting."

The 21-year-old is “critical and we don't know what the outcome will be," the source contined. “No one is giving up on this kid."

Meanwhile, the man under investigation for possible foul play, Bobbi Kristina’s boyfriend, Nick Gordon has spoken out about wanting to see her in the hospital despite being banned by her family.

"Nick has been trying, privately, to do everything he can to see Bobbi Kristina cooperatively,” his lawyer said. “He has respected the family's wishes and for that reason alone has not returned to the hospital and risked a public confrontation. But he desperately wants to be with the one he loves and continues to hope that his request will be granted.”
