We have not heard a lot about Lamar Odom in recent weeks, and unfortunately it sounds like there haven’t been many uplifting updates to provide about his health.
According to a report from Entertainment Tonight, Odom is still struggling with both his motor skills and speech.
“He’s not doing great,” a source reportedly told ET. “His speech is still slurred and he can barely walk on his own yet. He forgets a lot of people’s names — sometimes even his own. He definitely has some memory loss.”
Khloe Kardashian and the Kardashian family have still been visiting with Odom, and Khloe said last month that it could take Lamar well over a year to mentally recover from his life-threatening overdose. She also noted that Odom was not aware of what caused his brain injury.
There have been reports that doctors fear Odom suffered serious brain damage, and the updates we have heard sound consistent with that. When you hear the 911 call that witnesses placed after finding Odom unconscious, you get an idea of how serious his condition was and could continue to be.
