What is more hearbreaking, though, is that Odom doesn’t seem to know how he ended up in the hospital in the first place, and reminding him would only bring on more trauma.
It was just over a month ago that Lamar Odom was found passed out in a Nevada brothel, then in a coma for three days in the ICU.
According to the website TMZ, doctors do not guarantee a fully recovery, as Odom has many cognitive difficulties, to the point that sometimes fails to recognize family members or old friends and he has not evolved much in recent weeks. “And I just feel like it’s a really insensitive thing to fast-forward a divorce”.
She was hesitant to tell Odom how he caused his injuries.
“Lamar is family and he’ll always be family, we’ll always do what we can to help take care of him, and protect him, and be there for him”, Kardashian West said.
Odom, she added, “never asks why he’s here”.
In a heartbreaking interview for On Air With Ryan Seacrest, the pregnant reality star opened up about the retired basketballer’s current health situation, saying he has “he has a lot of work to do” in order to recover. “He doesn’t ask”, she said.
The Keeping Up with the Kardashians star – who rushed to his hospital bedside when she heard about the incident – has also given an update about his general condition admitting there’s “a long long road ahead”.
In the interview, 31-year-old Khloe said, “I’m there helping him and I love him and I’ve always loved him”. And he’s really supportive and great.

Here’s to a recovery that’s as speedy as possible. She told DeGeneres that Odom is a fantastic human being who deserves others’ love and support, and she wishes to stay by his side.
