  • Khloe Kardashian Gets All-Clear Following Staph Infection, Visits Lamar Odom in Hospital

    Khloe Kardashian was given the all-clear from her doctor following her diagnosis with a staph infection. This weekend she was finally able to return to the hospital to spend time with Lamar Odom again.

    It was Friday evening, following her lavish Thanksgiving spread she prepared for her Keeping Up With the Kardashians family and several friends, that Khloe Kardashian was spotted getting a parking pass at Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles. Lamar Odom has no doubt missed her. She was banned from his hospital room since her diagnosis earlier in the month.

    Khloe Kardashian has been a wealth of support to Lamar Odom since his near-death experience in a Nevada brothel last month. He reportedly accidentally overdosed on cocaine and herbal viagra, and is very lucky to be alive.

    Lucky is a relative term, however, especially when discussing Lamar Odom. He is also lucky that he might get off any drug charges from that occasion, but only because his physical and mental state is so poor as a result of the overdose.

    TMZ reports the reason the D.A. isn’t moving ahead with prosecuting Lamar Odom is because of his medical condition and mental state. They also report that Lamar is barely able to speak right now, and he can’t walk either. His cognitive functions are in rough shape, too.

    “Lucky” is indeed relative.

    Khloe Kardashian withdrew divorce papers from the court system following Lamar Odom’s near-death experience. She insists the two are not getting back together, however. She is dating Houston Rockets basketball player James Harden, and sneaks away from time to time to catch a game. She has vowed to stay by Lamar Odom’s side until he is well, and will resume with the divorce action once he is in much better condition.

    Thankfully, Khloe Kardashian is now in better condition. Staph infections can be deadly if left untreated.

  • Lamar Odom: Medical Condition and Mental State Will Likely Mean No Drug Charges

    Lamar Odom likely won’t face drug charges from the day he was found unconscious in that Nevada brothel. Odom’s blood revealed he had accidentally overdosed on cocaine that day, and the sheriff on duty at the time said there was a chance he would be prosecuted for cocaine possession.

    Now it seems the Nye County, Nevada D.A. is disregarding the sheriff’s statement.

    TMZ reports the reason the D.A. isn’t moving ahead with prosecuting Lamar Odom is because of his medical condition and mental state. They also report that Lamar is barely able to speak right now, and he can’t walk either. His cognitive functions are in rough shape, too.

    Lamar Odom has remained hospitalized since being moved from Las Vegas to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles last month. There is some question as to whether he’s even competent enough to stand trial if charged.

    Khloe Kardashian had been by Lamar Odom’s side almost constantly since he was first hospitalized in Las Vegas. She was treated for a staph infection she likely acquired in the hospital and had to stay away from the hospital for a while. She reportedly returned to visit Lamar in the hospital the day after Thanksgiving.

    Lamar Odom is unaware of how close he came to death or how he came to be in his present condition.

    “We tell him he had a brain injury, (but) I can’t tell him how that brain injury was caused, because it will set him back,” Khloe Kardashian told Ellen DeGeneres recently. “He’s never asked why he’s here.”

    Given Lamar Odom’s present state, do you agree it’s best if no charges are filed against him at this time? If he recovers, do you think charges should be filed?

  • Khloe Kardashian Prohibited from Visiting Lamar Odom While Recovering from Staph Infection

    Khloe Kardashian is recovering from a staph infection, and in addition to the pain she is experiencing, she is upset because she’s prohibited from visiting Lamar Odom in the hospital.

    “Khloé is devastated that she can’t go to the hospital and visit Lamar,” a source close to the Keeping up with the Kardashians star tells People magazine. “That’s the thing that is bothering her most about the infection.”

    Kardashian contracted the staph infection at the hospital where Lamar Odom is a patient. Because his immune system is already compromised due to the accidental overdose that nearly killed him, she must stay away until deemed free of the infection.

    “It’s been an emotional and difficult few weeks for Khloé and now she’s sick,” the source says.

    Khloe Kardashian is resting and taking antibiotics in order to get well. She is anxious to get back to the hospital to make sure Lamar stays on track with his recovery.

    “Khloé has been amazing throughout Lamar’s recovery,” a second source says. “Without her support and love, he would have been very lonely. Khloé only deserves praise.”

    Kris Jenner spoke with E! News about her daughter’s present condition.

    “She’s been a little under the weather,” she explains. “She’s getting better day by day.”

    Khloe Kardashian no doubt became run down from all the hours she was spending by Lamar’s bedside. Staph infections are prevalent in hospitals, and those who are run down are even more susceptible to them.

    Hopefully someone is helping fill Khloe’s shoes until she is well enough to head back to the hospital. It would be a shame for Lamar to become discouraged without the encouragement he’s grown custom to with Khloe Kardashian by his side.
