That's false. If she is in a medically induced coma, she cannot be evaluated for brain death. We do not know if she is actually still in a medically induced coma, we do not know if she has yet been evaluated for brain death. Perhaps she has been declared brain dead but the hospital has not yet acted on their legal right to withdraw treatment in order to give the family their "reasonable period" to deal with the situation, etc. We don't know anything for sure.
And wasn't that MY comment you were responding to?
A flat EEG is not one of the criteria used to determine brain death.
However, as has been stated several times in this thread, particularly by one of our vetted experts, it is true that doctors cannot evaluate brain death in a person who is in a medically induced coma. Nor is it done in the early days when brain swelling could interfere with the results. I don't know what threshold of ICP (or other diagnostic measure) is used to determine when it's acceptable to evaluate the brain function.

Possible that pupils are fixed and dilated?
I think maybe because of all the references to Jahi. Her family made it into a racial issue when the hospital suggested they turn off the ventilator.
Could some of these people just want their own 15 minutes of fame before it is all over?
who will sell the 1st photos etc.............![]()
Hi! I have been following along but haven't really contributed anything, but I wanted to share with you that I read Cissy's book about WH and I have to disagree with what you posted. In her book she stated that WH would never really allow her to visit, and one time she showed up unannounced at her mansion and that when she went in it was disgusting. Filthy dirty with half eaten food containers and piles of trash laying all around and also someone (she didn't know who) had spray-painted scary faces all over the walls. This is the reality of what BK and NG grew up around. There are pictures on the net of WH bathroom, with drugs laying all around and cigarettes and trash and it is disgusting. Also, BB admitted himself that they would do heroin to come down off the coke/crack. Also, WH admitted to Oprah that she took BK with her to rehab - who does that? WH had a beautiful voice, but I do not think she was a very nice person and I have to question just how much she really interacted with BK and NG if she was as drugged up as she was. Cissy said in her book that when WH died they found full dentures and wigs and that she was always losing her dentures and had to have them constantly remade. Drugs, especially crack/coke can make a person lose their teeth. It is truly amazing she lived as long as she did with the lifestyle she was living. They may have had a bunch of money, but it sounds to me like a fancy crack den in reality. It is very sad - I lost a lot of respect for WH after reading about what she was really doing with her life. I don't think she was a very nice person. I don't mean to speak ill of the dead, but this is just my opinion.
I am just saying we are hearing very different reports from many different sources and have from the very beginning. Some family members are reporting that her condition is improving. And then all of a sudden we have posters talking about it being lies. It's almost as if there are some who do not want her to make it.
I am not advocating that they keep her on life support indefinitely. Just that they do so, AND remain hopeful, until all avenues have been explored.
If BK is still on life support a year from now, we can have the discussion that this case is comparable to Jahi(which I knew nothing about until today). Right now there is no comparison my mind.

10:25 AM PT -- A lawyer for Bobby Brown just issued a statement, saying there is no truth to the story that Bobbi Kristina will be taken off life support tomorrow. As we reported, members of the Brown family informed us that was indeed the case. But the lawyer, Christopher Brown, says it's not so.

Is anyone really surprised by this denial?
Or perhaps this is the truth and it doesn't provide all the tabloids with a big enough story?
Watching NG Show now. There's a Police Report from last July , police were called to the home, the report apparently states Bobbi Kristina experienced a seizure like episode. NickG was present and confirmed it.
Don't know what occurred then, or why. I'd expect she went to a doctor or got some testing done then. Would like to hear the whole story of the event to determine how this supposed seizure occurred, but police were called. There's also a short video clip of BK and NG mentioning it.
