The daughter of the late Whitney Houston and R&B singer Bobby Brown has been moved to Atlanta’s Emory University Hospital from a local facility near her home in Roswell, Georgia as her family remains at her side fearing the worst. Though physicians have revealed that oxygen levels have risen, the extent of her injuries are still unknown at this time.

Following the transfer Houston began suffering seizures, as she continues to struggle after being found unresponsive in a bathtub by Nick Gordon, who her family revealed is not actually married to her despite their earlier claims. According to her father’s legal team,  “We are currently investigating the events that led to the hospitalization of Bobbi Kristina. To correct earlier reports, Bobbi Kristina is not and has never been married to Nick Gordon.”

Though she has been able to open and close her eyes a few times, doctors advise that it’s still unclear if she will recover or suffer any brain damage.
