It's been nearly six months since Bobbi Kristina Brown was found unconscious, face down in the bathtub of her Atlanta-area home.
Now, it appears the sad saga may finally be coming to an end.
During that time the 22-year-old daughter of Whitney Houston has remained in a coma and shown no signs of regaining consciousness.
Despite a grim prognosis, Bobbi Kristina's family has refused to give up hope, with her famous father, Bobby Brown, leading that chorus.
The singer has stated time and again that he believes in miracles and expects his daughter to defy the odds and make a full recovery.
Today, sadly, the family has decided to remove Bobbi Kristina from her medications and allow her to die naturally under hospice care.
The decision that will likely mean the end for the ailing star was announced just
moments ago by Bobbi Kristina's aunt Pat Houston.
"Despite the great medical care at numerous facilities, Bobbi Kristina Brown's condition has continued to deteriorate," Houston said in a statement.
"As of today, she has been moved into hospice care. We thank everyone for their support and prayers. She is in God's hands now."
Despite earlier reports that the family hoped to have Bobbi Kristina spend her final days at home, Houston says a hospice facility was chosen.
After flying in a top brain specialist from Chicago, the family members were told that there is "no hope" of Bobbi emerging from her coma.
At that point, their choice was basically made for them.
The debate over whether or not to remove Bobbi Kristina from life support has divided
her family at times, and tensions have been evident.
But Houston says after Bobbi's most recent diagnosis, the entire family on both sides is in agreement that the time has come to let her go.
