Cissy Houston, the mother of the late singer Whitney Houston and grandmother to Bobbi Kristina Brown, is calling for prayers for her granddaughter.

Bobbi Kristina, the daughter of late singer Whitney Houston and former R&B star Bobby Brown, has been hospitalized since Jan. 31. Bobbi Kristina, 22, was not conscious after she was found in a tub in the Georgia home she shared with boyfriend Nick Gordon.

Cissy, 81, recently appeared on the New York City radio station WBLS where she confirmed that her granddaughter had been moved from Emory University Hospital in Atlanta to a rehabilitation center. However, she admitted that the situation seemed bleak for her granddaughter.

"She's the same. We've moved her to a place for rehabilitation," Cissy said on WBLS. "And you know, still not a great deal of hope. [We're] still praying."

Cissy went on to call to others for prayer.

"I give it to God one time, because I know he's able. And I cannot change a thing," she said. "I'm asking everybody: 'Just pray to the Lord who we know can do something about it."

The grandmother is hoping for a miracle and is putting her faith at the forefront of the matter.

"If he works a miracle, thank God," she said on the radio show. "If it happens the other way, I'm all right."

Last month, Bobbi Kristina's family held a prayer vigil for her. A reported source close to the family spoke about keeping their conversations positive in front of the ailing Bobbi Kristina.

"If she's in there somewhere, we want her to hear us," a family member told People magazine. "We keep it positive. We tell her that God loves her, that we love her … that America is praying for her and that everyone loves her."
