Nick Gordon posted a picture of his new tattoo on his Facebook page on Valentine’s day. The very large tattoo of Krissi’s name is shown above. Interesting that the last name is not included.
Despite all the rampant speculation on line today about a “deadline” for Bobbi Kristina’s condition to approve before the family makes a decision. Or a family meeting being held to discuss their options. There is no new credible news in the Bobbi Kristina situation.
As for rumors that her organs are shutting down, that is fairly unlikely given that she has machines that are keeping her circulatory system and her respiratory system functioning normally. There are a lot of people who feel the need to create stories and rumors that are not based in fact. As I’ve said before, we are waiting now for the family to come to terms with this horrific situation. As commenter Hannah Rose said, we’re waiting for Bobby Brown’s heart to tell his head it’s okay to let her go. It will take however much time it takes.
I’ll keep you updated with any credible information as it becomes available. It’s sad that even some local news outlets are reporting rumor based on sites that rhyme with “not fine.” Don’t believe the hype.
Thanks for keeping your reporting to actual news. Refreshing.
Thanks TT for the mention. Made me happy that you thought what I posted made sense. That’s the way I truly see it. People can know intellectually that something is the best choice, but until their emotions can be resolved, most people won’t act.
Hannah, internet forums are often a treasure trove of spontaneously poetic and inspirational comments. Yours, which I believe likely just came out instantaneously, is a shining example of such a memorable gem!
I hope that she is not in pain or discomfort to even the slightest degree. No one really knows, but probably that sort of thing is not likely. It would be better, perhaps for all, to let her go sooner than later. Its really a terrible situation.
Of course I am speculating, but I imagine that do to the seizures she had, she is heavily sedated. And I don’t know how much of her brain is working to register pain.
I agree with you of course. I don’t know if she is capable of nightmares or intrusive negative thoughts but as someone who suffers from both while asleep and in that twilight stage between awake and still dreaming, that would be awful.

People can be put in a coma, on a vent, and still feel pain. I once worked with a SOB physician who would paralyze his patients on a vent, but not sedate them or give them much pain relief. There is a special place in hell for him.
I have been on both ends…ICU nurse and on a vent. I don’t remember much about that week, except when I was being weaned off the machine, wishing I could brush my teeth.
People register pain when sedated.
Holy shit I couldn’t even imagine what that must be like.
I’ve had several boughts of sleep paralysis where my mind was conscious though foggy and I could not move an inch of my body or open my eyes (which was the worst part) and its sheer mental panic mode. It’s almost like a dream state trying to yell for help and chanting just open your eyes over and over.
It only lasts 30 seconds to a minute before I’m able to calm down and go back to sleep, I’ve never actually been able to wake up straight out of it. I’ve read terrifying reports of people having this condition chronically with episodes lasting up to two HOURS at a time.
I don’t want to even imagine what that would be like for weeks or months or years straight.
I have had similar experiences, Psylocke. Terrifying.
I’ve experienced sleep paralysis a few times in my life and it is terrifying…you’re totally aware that you’re half asleep and dreaming this and screaming at yourself to wake up but can’t for a few minutes.
A friend of mine was in a coma for over a month, and she said that she saw/was in Hell the whole time. Her story was one of the scariest things I’ve ever heard. Made me want to really try to be as nice a person as I possibly can be. I’m not even one who really believes in Hell, but I will never forget her experience. I don’t imagine that anyone who she told the details to will ever forget it either. Very detailed and absolutely terrifying. She hasn’t told many people because it is so difficult for her to even talk about. I’m also one who has really bad nightmares. I sometimes can’t wake up out of them even though I know I’m having a nightmare and trying to wake myself up. Then I think I’m awake, but I’m really just in a nightmare within the nightmare. Anyway… I can’t even imagine being stuck in there like that. Just 5 or 10 minutes is awful. I’m fine when they put me under for surgery though. I really hope that that’s not happening to her. I really thought that they would have taken her off by now. I thought BB just needed some time for the shock to wear off. This isn’t good. I just pray to God that she doesn’t wake up, because she will have zero quality of life. ZERO.

Are you in a coma right now Tamara?
No, but I was in a coma and brain dead once. Then Jesus healed me. But I had a really bad hangover for days.

TT, I snorted (in the dr.’s office) I laughed so hard at your comment.
Well I’m glad I’m in the 67.5%. Phew.
I am part of the 67.5%, but my experience has made Bobbi Kristina’s situation seem grim. I don’t know anyone that has drowned but I do know people who have overdosed and stopped breathing for several minutes and yeah the outcome was never miraculous, unless you count being completely non functional, unable to do or say anything, having a urinary catheter, and just staring wide eyed blankly at a wall and occasionally grunting a miracle.
When i read HannahRose’s remark, i thought Wow, so simply put but accurate. When i read it here that Bobby let her go, is when i will believe it. Until then….
Thanks for the updates, TT.
The tattoo is annoying me because the names aren’t lined up together.
I think TV is rotting my brain because I read this hours ago and still can’t figure out what rhymes.
Thank you for the updates TT.
It’s the Melrose Place binge. I’m telling you. Gaydar on Wine.

Drink Merlot.

Merlot! You’re a genius!
Yep, the tat doesn’t match up. I’m thinking the artist lined up the top instead of the bottom? I’d be pissed and one of us would have to fix it!
Thanks TT, couldn’t figure out the rhyme either.
Me either with the rhyme. Hmmmm…
Thanks TT for the honest updates. The tat might look a bit off by the camera angle. And in 13 years with a tat artist, not one person ever put a girls last name after her 1st name, so I don’t think what he did was odd at all. I wish Nick had done it when Bobbi was with him, so she could’ve enjoyed it. It was a sweet thing to do though.
Went and looked again. Might be my horrid eyesight, but it looks like it says “Ristina”. Does anyone else see it, or should I go to the eye doc?
I see it too! The top of the k looks like the top of b. What’s up with that?
I was gonna say the same thing breelee. I’ve never in my life seen a last name included in a boyfriend/girlfriend tattoo. I’ve seen first, and first and middle like this, but never last.
And that “K” is awful. Really cute picture below though.
All I’ve gathered from this is Nick Gordon has a disproportionatly long forearm.
So sad that a father sits in agony. Prayers go up for all the sickness in the world to cease by recovery or peace via passing.
Thanks for the update. Her facebook fan page actually reported today that she opened her eyes and looked around. Ridiculous. This creates such false hope and is just delusional. I pray Bobby can come to his decision soon. I know my faith in the Lord is so strong that she will be in a better place and I hope he sees that too.
I’m no theologian, but I think BK’s spirit is already with her mom. The body’s just a shell on machines. The tat is a sweet gesture.
Sweet gesture or guilty conscience? Sad either way.
FYI-. For a dying patient, mechanical ventilation often merely prolongs the dying process until some other body system fails. It may supply oxygen, but it cannot improve the underlying condition. If other organs( heart, liver etc) are also being mechanically supported, they will not fail until those mechanisms are removed. Given the status of this patient( in terms of financial means), her ” life” , in this state, could go on for many years or until her funds are totally exhausted. I thank this site for intelligent and informed reportage. The level of ignorance , concerning this issue, is enormous and disrespectful to the family.
Thank you for keeping us posted. I was wondering what was going on. This poor young girl. Heartbreaking situation.
The picture of the two of them is so sweet — they both look so young and happy, but it also makes me sad. Wasted lives. {sigh}
Yeah that is a really cute picture.
Thanks TT for the respectful update. That’s one large uneven tattoo.
Does anyone know how long the medical center will keep BK in her current condition? Won’t they eventually recommend that she be transferred a long term care facility?
Yes, eventually. Not sure how much time they will give them.

The bigger, biggest question remains why? Why did this happen? She was a young, healthy, talented, wealthy young woman who had everything to live for. Just, why?
I so totally agree with u @Justso! I’ve probably asked myself a thousand times why did such a heartbreaking & tragic thing have to happen to Bobbi K. It would be horrific for anyone to go thru, but she’s so young with a full life ahead of her!!! It jus seem unreal that only 3 yrs ago we were all in shock due to Whitney E Houston’s passing & now it appears with each passing day BK’s fate might be similarly tragic!!! No matter what…her life did/does matter & has a purpose! My prayers are continuously with her & the Houston/Brown family for strength, guidance & peace!!!!! I know things are going to turn out jus the way they are supposed to……If she Must go, then her mommy will be waiting in the “after life”. If she stays…she will be surrounding by lots of family & friends that love her unconditionally no matter what!!!! ONLY GOD KNOWS THE OUTCOME & WHAT IS BEST FOR BOBBI K!!!
God and me. We know. You however seem to be missing the point and overly attached to a person you know nothing about.
Feeling really frigid tonite, Tamara, and I don’t mean just here in Atlanta.
@Tamaratattles….I’m new to your blog just happened upon it over the last week or so searching for the most accurate sounding info on Bobbi K. I must say your blog was amongst the few that reported believable info on her case, however I would like to kindly disagree with your statement about me being “overly attached to someone I know nothing about” in fact that statement couldn’t be further from the truth! I am a mother of 4 & run a daycare so I have no time to be “overly” nothing concerning no one at all other then the kids I care for daily. Yours in fact, is the very first blog I’ve ever commented on simply because I liked the truthful & sincere *ring* to it. Bobbi K’s situation is very sad & I’m sure there are millions of people that feel deeply sadden by her unfortunate incident & in fact many have replied on this very blog…so how is it that I’m appearing “overly attached to someone I don’t know” any more than anyone else that has expressed an opinion up here..???
It’s cool guys I made popcorn for everyone 😉
