Bobbi Kristina Brown has undergone a Tracheotomy procedure.
The daughter of late Whitney Houston underwent the surgical procedure, which will allow her to breathe through her neck via a small incision, this week to help prevent the chances of an infection as she currently fights for her life in a coma.
A source told PEOPLE.com: ‘The tracheotomy is a different place for the tube to go. Everything else remains the same. It’s a waiting game. The family is hoping and waiting.
‘It’s a normal procedure to have the tracheotomy because if you have a breathing tube down there for a long time, it can cause an infection. She is still critical and we don’t know what the outcome will be. No one is giving up on this kid.’
The 21-year old aspiring actress has been on life support in hospital since she was found facedown, unresponsive, in a bathtub at her home in Georgia on January 31.
