NEW YORK, March 26 (UPI) -- Recording artist Cissy Houston says there is "not a great deal of hope" her comatose granddaughter Bobbi Kristina Brown will ever fully recover, but she continues to pray for the young woman.

"She's the same," Houston said in an interview on 107.5 WBLS Wednesday. "There's still not a great deal of hope. We're praying. I don't pray like that. I give it to God one time because I know he's able and I cannot change a thing. I'm asking everyone, 'Just pray to the Lord, who we know can do something about it.' If he works a miracle, thank God. If it happens the other way, I'm alright."

Houston is the 81-year-old mother of the late Whitney Houston, Brown's mother, who accidentally drowned while intoxicated in a Los Angeles hotel bathtub Feb. 11, 2012.

Brown, 22, has been on life support since Jan. 31. She was discovered face down and unresponsive in a bathtub at the Georgia home she shared with her boyfriend Nick Gordon.

Brown's father, singer Bobby Brown, has insisted their family is continuing to pray for her and has no plans to remove her from life support.

The circumstances surrounding the medical emergency remain under investigation. Some media reports have alleged Gordon and Bobbi Kristina Brown were engaged in a physical altercation before the incident, while others claim she was using drugs and intoxicated the morning she was found in distress.
