Bobbi Kristina Brown’s fractious family gathered by her hospital bedside Monday — ahead of a candlelight vigil where they have asked the public to pray for a miracle.Her grandmother — gospel singer Cissy Houston — arrived first at Emory University Hospital with a handful of relatives.
Fifteen minutes later, her dad — R&B singer Bobby Brown — pulled up in a white SUV packed with friends and relatives and raced through the rain into the hospital.

There have been no reports of any change in the condition of Bobbi Kristina, whose mother was superstar Whitney Houston.

The 21-year-old aspiring singer remains in a medically induced coma more than a week after she was found face down and not breathing in a bathtub.

But Bobby Brown’s arrival so soon after Houston is unusual because they have generally steered clear of each other. And there has been bad blood between their families since Bobbi Kristina has been hospitalized.

Houston's family reportedly infuriated the Browns by setting up a security perimeter outside Bobbi Kristina's room that requires a passcode from any visitors wishing to enter — and did not give it to the many members of the Brown family.

TMZ.com reported that the Brown clan was united in its demand they not be "disrespected" as they were during Whitney Houston's funeral.

During that ceremony, Bobby Brown left in a huff after security prevented him from sitting with his troubled daughter.

It was not immediately clear whether Bobby Brown would join the expected hundreds of supporters at a “Shining a Light for Healing” vigil, which is being held at the Amphitheater at Riverdale Town Center in suburban Atlanta.

"We are hoping that God will see fit to perform a miracle in her, so that he will get the glory," a Brown family member told People magazine.

Meanwhile, the Brown family was getting moral support from preachers like Kendria Moore, who calls herself a “prophetess.”

“I believe she is going to come out of the coma," Moore said outside the hospital.
