After being in critical condition for days, Lamar Odom has miraculously recovered. The good news has made the Kardashian clan who were with the former professional basketball player in the hospital happy.

However, the former member of the LA Lakers team will no longer be the same. A source close to the family of his wife Khloe Kardashian revealed that he is still facing a serious problem with his health. Though Lamar Odom already woke up from being unconscious for many days, the trauma has affected his mental and physical health.

Since Odom experienced multiple strokes, he has now become very slow in terms of making response. Being in coma for four days has really affected his health.

"It's two steps forward, then a step back, but it does feel like some progress is being made, little by little. There's still a black cloud, like, 'Okay, what's next?' " said the source.

Lamar Odom can now accomplish simple instructions but the speed in completing them was affected by his condition. It will take time for the former NBA star to fully recover because his body was damaged by the drugs that entered his system.

Unfortunately, what has happened to Odom may bring lasting effects to his health but the doctors who are attending him are now trying to reduce the consequences.

"The pneumonia was a huge setback, and now there's worry about permanent scarring of the lungs. His kidneys are still not functioning correctly, but he's nowhere near strong enough to even think of a transplant, so he's on dialysis," added the source. 

Khloe Kardashian remained on Lamar Odom's side since he was admitted. The 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians' star keeps her family updated of the condition of his husband. The couple recently called off their divorce after the 35-year-old star woke up from coma.
