Bobbi Kristina Brown

Bobbi Kristina Brown underwent a tracheotomy last week to prevent the chances of an infection from her breathing tubes as she currently fights for her life in a coma.

The daughter of the 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.

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 face-down, unresponsive, in a bathtub at her home in Georgia on January 31.

Her father, Bobby Brown, and her other relatives have remained at her bedside since the tragedy and are hopeful the youngster will make a full recovery. — Bangshowbiz.
