Doctors are afraid that Lamar Odom is suffering serious brain damage.
It has been reported that Lamar Odom is doing well after being found in a brothel unconscious, although it is very shocking that the NBA player could not recognise most of his closest friends and families. Doctors are afraid that he's sufffering some serious brain damage.
A few weeks ago, NBA player Lamar Odom was found unconscious in a brothel and it is believed that he might have overdosed from cocaine and other illegal drugs. Days passed and the reality TV star Khloe Kardashian dismissed their divorce that was filed on December 23. In an interview, brothel staff stated that they have only seen Odom drinking alchohol and taking supplements but they have never really seen him taking drugs.
After he was admitted to a medical center to be observed and to be taken cared of for almost a month, Doctors say that the athlete has made a little progress but he still finds communicating and moving freely difficult. This progression lead the doctors to conclude that he has suffered a lot of brain damage.
The 36-year-old NBA player is confused and unaware of how he ended up in the medical center and why was he there. Those dear to him are frightened that informing him that he has overdosed on drugs and alchohol, the reason behind his hospitalization might bring him back to the moment that could worsen his situation.
Khloe Kardashian gave updates through an interview, stating that Lamar Odom has "a long long road ahead", she said that his only progress is that he's now off of all machines that helps his organs to function properly again but can't deny the fact that it may take him a very long time before he could fully recover.
The celebrity also said that Lamar is starting to learn how to walk and feed himself, he can put sentences together but there are times that everything turns blank again, like there are those times when he couldn't even put words together, the good thing about it is that he could understand.
Everyday is different, Khloe said. "He gets confused a lot and we have to remind him everytime".
