In the days after Lamar Odom was found unconscious in his room at a Nevada brothel, it looked as though the former NBA star would not be long for this world.
Doctors reported that Odom had overdosed on a near-lethal cocktail of drugs and suffered several strokes before he arrived at a nearby hospital.
Hospital sources reported that Odom’s friends and family were bracing themselves for the worst and that it didn’t look as though the 35-year-old would pull through.
Just as it seemed that there was no cause for hope, however, a series of miracles took place.
Odom emerged from his coma and began to show major signs of improvement. Insiders say he’s been breathing on his own and even engaging in simple conversations.
Sadly, Radar Online reports today that Odom has contracted pneumonia, and his health has been in decline ever since he was transferred from Las Vegas to a hospital in Los Angeles earlier this week.
“He has gotten weaker since arriving at Cedars Sinai in L.A,” says one insider.
Odom’s condition has reportedly gotten so bad that his estranged wife Khloe Kardashian is the only one permitted to visit him until further notice.
“Lamar’s doctors told Khloe Lamar was at a risk of getting infections from visitors, and told her he couldn’t have any more until his health improved,” says the source.
Khloe and Lamar recently called off their divorce in hopes of building a new life together once his health improves.
We’ll keep you updated on Lamar’s condition as more information becomes available.
