Bobbi Kristina Brown's condition has reportedly improved since Jan. 31 when she was admitted to the hospital. However, her quality of life remains unchanged and she still needs to continue undergoing a rehabilitation process. Also, Cissy Houston shared that the brain damage her granddaughter sustained is irreversible. 

Thus, when Bobby Brown, Bobbi Kristina's father, made a statement at a Frankie Beverly concert in Dallas, media outlets immediately picked up on the announcement. 

He told the crowd, "I could say today, Bobbi is awake... She's watching me." 

People wanted to know about the improvement of Bobbi Kristina's condition. However, it appears that he spoke out with too much emotion. 

Bobby's wife Alicia Etheredge-Brown have since made the effort to correct what he said in the concert. This is her official statement: 

My husband made an attempt to correct the negative comments he must endure on a daily basis from both family and the public regarding his daughter's medical condition. He is encouraged by the steps that Bobbi Kristina has made since her hospitalization on January 31, 2015. She has made it out of ICU, opened her eyes, and started a rehabilitation that will be long and hard.

"I just wish my husband could deal with this most painful and difficult time with people surrounding him who fully support and pray for Bobbi Kristina's recovery and only her recovery. Life is the most precious thing that we all have."

Elsewhere, Cissy also made a statement to the media on Monday, saying that her granddaughter is still unresponsive. She added that Bobbi Kristina has "global and irreversible brain damage," reports CNN

According to E! Online, Bobby's lawyer Christopher Brown made a public statement, saying, "Doctors have indicated that she will have a long life. However, Bobbi Kristina is presently embarking on a rehabilitation process, and the quality of her life will not be known for years to come."
