Odom underwent two emergency surgeries on Thursday, and he remains on dialysis.
Odom’s estranged wife Khloe Kardashian has remained by his side since he was hospitalized on Tuesday, October 13. “She sleeps in the ICU with him,†a source told Us Weekly. A second source added, “Khloe’s not really responding to friends who’ve reached out; I think she’s just in a bubble with her family right now.â€
Doctors have banned all visitors except Khloe, who recently called off the couple's divorce. “[Khloe] loves him so much, and she takes their wedding vows — for better or worse, in sickness and health — extremely seriously. This is a huge wake up call for Lamar, for his friends and family. Everyone is just really hoping for the best," another source told the mag.
