In a statement released Thursday, Odom’s father and two children – who are now reportedly beside the Kardashians at the hospital where the athlete is being treated – asked for prayers. “Thank you for your kindness and understanding during this hard time”, said the joint statement.

Millions of fans have followed Lamar Odom’s every move – from his National Basketball Association triumphs to his highly publicized romance with reality TV star Khloe Kardashian. Once the seven-day free trial of the app expires, access costs $2.99 a month.
Odom was found unconscious at the brothel Tuesday with white and reddish substances coming from his nose and mouth. Still, ET is being told that Odom’s kidneys are a top concern, as they have reportedly started to fail, requiring him to be placed on dialysis.
Television personalities Kylie Jenner, Kourtney Kardashian and Kim Kardashian exit through a back door after visiting Lamar Odom at Sunrise Hospital & Medical Center on October 15, 2015 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Family, friends, and former teammates rushed to Las Vegas after his condition became known overnight Tuesday.
This is apparently a relapse into Lamar’s drug use history, which is the main reason behind Khloé’s decision to file for divorce in 2013, only four years after they tied the knot.
Dennis Hof, owner of the Love Ranch, told BuzzFeed News that two women who were with Odom at the time said he appeared to have taken too much “herbal Viagra”.
The whole Kardashian family have been by his bedside and have tweeted messages of support, asking for prayers. “We ask for your continued prayers”. Doctors have told Lamar’s friends and family this is a good sign of improvement, that a critical organ is responding.
“He didn’t indicate what he wanted to get away from but was adamant he wanted no phone calls, don’t acknowledge he was here, wanted rest and relaxation”, she said.

Nye County law enforcement and brothel officials said Odom’s incident was a rarity for the Love Ranch, in the rural community of Crystal, and have summed it up as a possible drug-related medical episode.
