Bobbi Kristina Brown: ‘Chances Of Recovery’ Analyzed Amid ‘Near Death’ Claims
Bobbi Kristina Brown was placed in a medically induced coma over a month ago. Although many news reports have claimed the 22-year-old is near death, her father refuses to accept that possibility. Now, a new report suggests there may be some chance of recovery. How is that possible? Apparently, Bobbi Kristina’s age could make a big difference.
In a new report published by the New York Daily News, doctors have reportedly weighed in with a number of theories about how a person’s age can raise the chances of recovery. Dr. Rafael Ortiz, director of the Center for Cerebrovascular Surgery at Lenox Hill Hospital, recently discussed a theory about the impact of age in situations similar to Bobbi Kristina’s.
“In someone young we definitely give her a chance to recover as much as possible, so it is not surprising that they’re keeping her sedated for a long time,” Dr. Ortiz said.
Last week, reports surfaced about the family’s attempt to take Bobbi Kristina out of the medically induced coma. Unfortunately, she reportedly suffered a series of seizures as a result of the attempt. As previously reported on Inquisitr, the seizures are considered a major setback because the disruption in neural activity is said to cause more swelling. Now, there is a possibility Bobbi Kristina could spend several more weeks on life support in a medically induced coma. Although Dr. Ortiz’s theory does offer a glimmer of hope, most news outlets have reported that Bobbi Kristina’s condition has not changed, and her prognosis is still grim.
A couple days ago, her aunt, Pat Houston, released a statement on behalf of the Houston family. Bobbi Kristina is still fighting for her life. While it is almost certain Bobbi Kristina will not make a full recovery, there is a strong possibility she could regain minimal bodily functions for a vegetative state.
“Today is Bobbi Kristina’s 22nd birthday. And we ask you to continue to keep her in your prayers as she is still fighting the battle of her life.”
