Lamar Odom’s condition may have improved from when he was hospitalized on October 13, but the former NBA star isn’t in the clear just yet. Lamar has undergone two emergency surgeries.
Reports claim the surgeries involved issues with his chest. It is unclear whether the problems involved his heart or lungs.
In an effort to prevent the Khloe & Lamar star’s condition from worsening, doctors have banned family and friends from visiting Lamar except for his wife Khloe Kardashian.

"Lamar is in a very fragile state," a source told People. "The infection, that is being aggressively treated with strong intravenous antibiotics, is unfortunately not getting better. There are many concerns about his health."
Lamar was hospitalized when he was found unconscious at a brothel in Las Vegas. After his condition improved, he was transferred to Los Angeles’ Cedars-Sinai Hospital. Nye County sheriff’s detective Michael Eisenloffel told Fifth Judicial District Judge Robert Lane that he believes, “Mr. Odom may be – or may have been – under the influence of a controlled substance,” RadarOnline reports.
