People reports that doctors are weening Brown off the medication that keeps her in a coma, with the hope that it might help learn whether or not Brown can survive on her own.
“They take them off a medically induced coma for two reasons – because the underlying problem has improved, or to simply get a sense of what the patient is able to do for themselves,” Subhashini Ramesh, a professor of NeuroCritical Care at Georgia Regents University, said to People .
The magazine notes that Ramesh is not Brown’s doctor, but Ramesh also provides the insight that a recent tracheostomy might be a positive development. “Obviously, she did not meet the criteria for brain death if she underwent a tracheostomy,” Ramesh said. “She still could have a devastating injury, though.”
Bobbi Kristina Brown is the daughter of Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown, and has been in critical medical condition since the January 31 incident.
