Lamar Odom UPDATE: Undergoes Two Emergency Surgeries That Leave Him In 'Fragile Mental State,' Khloe Kardashian Only Visitor Allowed

Lamar Odom's health has been improving over past few days, but he has now had to undergo some emergency procedures that left him feeling pretty out of it.

Earlier today, the former NBA player, who was found unconscious in a Nevada brothel last week due to a drug overdose, underwent two emergency surgeries, according to TMZ. The surgeries involved some chest issues, but it is unclear if they had to do with his heart or lung problems.

The surgeries left Odom emotional and in "a fragile mental state." Sources have said that at times he gets very upset. His estranged wife Khloe Kardashian is the only one that is allowed to visit him - as she has not left his side yet - while the doctors try to deal with these immediate physical and mental issues.

"The doctors at Cedars have asked for no visitors until he improves," a different source told E! News.

Odom has been miraculously recovering, but he has a long journey ahead of him as doctors try to fix all the damage. As of the latest update, he is being treated for aspiration pneumonia.

Earlier today, his family also revealed that his speech was improving and that he had been undergoing therapy. "He is beginning to gradually flourish both mentally and physically," his aunt JaNean Mercer's publicist Alvina Alston said in a statement, according to Page Six. "His use of speech has increased and he's more cognitively responsive."

There has been no more word yet on his condition following the procedures.
