Lamar Odom’s condition has improved to the point that doctors feel confident enough of pronouncing that he’ll get back to normal, or as close as possible; but only after months of rehabilitation.

The basketball player and spouse of Khloe Kardashian had to be rushed to hospital in Las Vegas last Tuesday after falling unconscious in a brothel.

It’s been a harrying few days but it seems he is out the woods at this moment.

He is reported as conscious now and to have exchanged some words with those around, especially Khloe Kardashian- who has been by his bedside all this time.

According to TMZ, “Doctors are telling Lamar’s friends and family rehabilitation will take many months, and they believe an undetermined amount of damage to his body will be permanent.”

The athlete would have physical, speech, and other therapists working with him for the foreseeable future.

Khloe, who has stayed by his side all through this ordeal; has vowed to stay for the long road ahead as well, sources tell the site.
