访谈录 奥多姆病情稳定 与卡戴珊重归于好

 We begin this half hour with former NBA star Lamar Odom showing signs of recovery this morning after waking up from that coma². ABC's Kayna Whitworth has been following the story from Las Vegas. Good morning, Kayna.

Robin³, good morning to you. Lamar Odom is still in the ICU at this Las Vegas hospital. That’s according to a source close to the situation, adding that visitation right now is still limited to next of kin¹ and Khloe Kardashian is making people sign a confidentiality⁴ agreement. This morning, Lamar Odom defying the odds⁵, sources close to the situation telling ABC News that since waking up from a coma Friday, the former NBA star is showing signs of improvement, able to text, smile and communicate with loved ones, even reportedly giving a thumbs up and saying “Hi” to estrange⁶ wife Khloe Kardashian who hasn’t left his bedsides since he arrived. Family members telling ABC News overnight “Lamar is doing very well. By the grace of God he’s doing much better.”

Odom is surrounded by family throughout the weekend, his children by his sides, seen smiling in these photos after leaving the hospital Friday, and the Kardashian’s returning to Las Vegas to join Khloe. Kim Kardashian taking the social media posting this photo and the message: “I’m so happy Kendall and I could make you smile today.” Odom’s improvement, a dramatic turnaround. Just six days ago, he was rushed to the hospital after being found unresponsive in this brothel outside Las Vegas. “…they can’t get him to wake up…”

And as Odom recovers, new details are emerging from his 3-day visit to the Love Ranch⁷. Odom racking up a bill totaling nearly $80,000, the ranch owner telling ABC news Odom negotiated the rates himself and was planning on staying there for up to five days. “There are thousands of celebrities⁸ that come to the body ranch, and some of them for extended stays to three, four weeks at a time. They are buying a good time and a private environment.” But the ranch says Odom was the first celebrity⁹ to have the women at the brothel sign a confidentiality agreement. Yet he still wanted to be alone Monday night. “The night before he was hospitalized, you know, he told the girls that he wanted to spend that night alone.” Now the ranch employee who picked up Lamar on Saturday said that in that hour and half drive, he talked a lot about his family, especially how impactful it was for him to lose his mother at such a young age, also a source close to the situation saying they plan on moving Lamar to a Los Angeles hospital as soon as possible. Robin, they're saying that could happen in the next 48 hours. All right, Kayna, thank you.
