TMZ, quoting a source close to the situation, said Bobbi Kristina has been able to move her eyes and that swelling on her brain had abated. She'd been placed in a medically induced coma to address the swelling.

A statement issued by the Houston family asked for prayers and privacy: "We are asking you to honor our request for privacy during this difficult time. Thank you for your prayers, well wishes, and we greatly appreciate your continued support. "

An earlier statement released on behalf of Bobby Brown also requested privacy. Click here to read his entire statement.

Family members have been gathering at the hospital ever since, possibly setting up a tense situation. Last year, one of Bobbi Kristina's relatives took out a restraining order on her husband, Nick Gordon, court documents show. Details here.
