(USA Today) – Doctors have removed Bobbi Kristina Brown’s breathing tube.

But her condition remains unchanged, a source close to the situation but unauthorized to speak publicly about it tells USA TODAY.

There has been no official update on her health status, and the removal from the ventilator does not indicate any decision has been made as to her life support, says the family source.

Brown has been on a ventilator since Jan. 31, when she was hospitalized after being found unconscious in her bath tub in her Roswell, Ga., townhouse.

This is a “normal” procedure, done after a certain amount of time to prevent infections, says the family source.

After 57 years, the Athletics have left Oakland following a home series this week.

Though Congresswoman Barbara Lee introduced legislation to keep the team in Oakland, she could not get the backing she needed from other legislators in the Republican-controlled House of Representatives.

Lee tried 15 months ago, the day before Nevada politicians approved $380 million in public funds to build a Las Vegas ballpark. Lee proposed a bill that would have stopped the A’s move by requiring a hefty exit fee that would have made them reconsider a move.

“That’s only fair,” Lee said in an interview in the Los Times by sportswriter Bill Shaikin. “That’s the only fair way to do it,” she said. “You’ve got to compensate the community, because the community has invested a heck of a lot.”

However, Lee’s bill could not go forward without the backing it needed. First, it went to the House Judiciary Committee chaired by Rep. Jim Jordan, the Ohio Republican. Jordan did not co-sponsor Lee’s bill or permit the committee hearing required for the bill to move forward.

“We put up a good fight. The city put up a good fight, the county, everyone,” said Lee.

“Unfortunately, we are losing a team that really, in the day, exemplified Black excellence in Oakland. It’s more than just the team leaving. It’s a part of Oakland’s history, and our culture,” she said.
