Khloé Kardashian has not left her estranged husband Lamar Odom's side ever since he was hospitalized last Tuesday after being found unconscious in a brothel in Nevada. She was there the entire time he was in a coma, and was the first person Odom acknowledged when he finally woke on Friday. Now that Odom's condition is significantly improving and he has been transferred to a Los Angeles hospital to be closer to the family, she has still been with him every step of the way and has finally broken her silence on the whole incident.
"The past week has been incredibly difficult. I am so thankful to family, friends and fans, who have sent nothing but prayers and well wishes to Lamar," she wrote on her website on Tuesday morning. "I also want to take a moment to thank everyone at Sunrise hospital, including the amazing doctors and nurses for their kindness and diligent work. You can never be prepared for an experience like this, but without the outpouring of love and endless prayers that Lamar has received and the strength I was given from my loved ones, it would have been difficult to endure. Thank you for your continued support. God is great!!! XOXO, Khloé."
The whole experience has taken a toll on Kardashian, as this is something she never could have imagined happening, especially since the two were in the process of finalizing their divorce. As his next of kin, she was responsible for all of his medical decisions, and her ability to stay hopeful over the past week shows how strong she is.
Ever since she and Odom split, they have tried to move on to others, even though they've made it very obvious, and very public, that they still love each other. As of recently, Kardashian was dating NBA star James Harden, but the two have taken a break from their relationship so she could care for Odom. "Everything is on hold right now while she's with Lamar," a source told Us Weekly.
Kardashian and Harden were first linked back in July and they pretty much confirmed their relationship the following month when she threw him a huge 26th birthday party on a yacht. Odom was particularly upset about their relationship, as Harden is an NBA player who Odom was sort of friends with.
"Lamar has been hating that Khloé is with James," an insider told Us Weekly in August when Odom reportedly ambushed her at a SoulCycle. "Lamar wants her back. That's what stopped the communication on her end."
With everything that has happened to Odom this past week, it doesn't look like Khloé will be stopping the communication anytime soon, if ever. She has vowed to stand by his side throughout his entire ordeal, even throughout all the months of therapy he will eventually have to do, according to TMZ. She is determined to make sure he gets the best help and that he will not be alone on this long, hard road to recovery.
