Lamar Odom may have gotten the miracle his loved ones have been praying for. Several news outlets, including E! News, are reporting that the former NBA player has emerged from his coma and even communicated with his wife Khloé Kardashian, making eye contact with her and saying “hey baby.”
Let it be know that he spent $75,000 to hang out in a whore house with trashy white women for three days doing coke, liquid Viagra, Henessey, and Lord knows what else. The money could have feed a lot of hungry people housed the homeless and a number of other positive things. So the junkie has opened his eyes and now life goes on with a serious wake up call. How embarrassing for the world to know you are a junkie and a freak? He had been there three days and was planning to stay longer if he had not had the near death over dose.
Earlier today, TMZ reported that Odom’s heart began responding, raising hopes for his survival. Doctors said Odom’s heart functioning is “much better” than yesterday and that it’s a good sign of improvement that a critical organ is responding. It was also reported that he squeezed Kim Kardashian’s hand at some point last night and may have asked to see his kids.
As of last night, Odom was breathing through a ventilator with virtually no chance of recovery, and his family was preparing for the end. A family source told TMZ that Odom was in “dire straights” and was “entirely unresponsive” on Thursday.
Though these hopeful new developments by no means indicate that Odom is out of the woods, it seems to be giving doctors and his loved ones renewed hope for his survival.
Odom experienced multiple organ failure due to heavy drug use during his three-day binge at a Nevada brothel. His condition had been steadily deteriorating since he was admitted on Tuesday night, giving doctors few options and leaving a tough decision in the hands of his estranged wife, Khloe Kardashian.
Odom’s family, including his father, Joe, his ex-wife, Liza Morales, and their two children, Destiny and Lamar Jr., arrived at his side on Thursday. Several of Odom’s celebrity friends, including Kobe Bryant and Rev. Jesse Jackson, have visited the hospital. Others have expressed their sentiments to the press and on social media, with Oprah Winfrey saying she is “devastated” at the news.
Hopefully the love surrounding Odom will see him through.
