Bobbi Kristina's grandmother Cissy Houston has come to terms with the fact that her granddaughter will likely never recover. "There's still not a great deal of hope," she told New York City radio station 107.5 WBLS.
She says the family is praying for Bobbi Kristina's recovery and is asking for others to do the same. "We’re praying," she told the radio station in her first interview since the tragedy. "I give it to God one time 'cause I know he's able and I cannot change a thing. So I’m asking everybody to just pray to the Lord, who we know can do something about it."
Houston says she's aware of the prayers by the public for her granddaughter. "I feel every bit of it," she said on "Middays With Shaila."
Bobbi Kristina, the only child of singer Whitney Houston and her husband Bobby Brown has been in a medically induced coma since she was found facedown and unresponsive in her bathtub by her boyfriend Nick Gordon on January 31. Gordon and a friend administered CPR until medical personnel arrived. She was hospitalized at Atlanta's Emory University Hospital until last week when she was moved to a rehab facility.
Cissy Houston, who is known among her friends as a woman of faith, said she knows her granddaughter's fate is in God's hands. "If he works a miracle, thank God. If it happens the other way, I'm alright," she told the radio station.
