Lamar Odom will survive his near death experience but it will be a long, hard road, doctors say.

TMZ reports that doctors are telling Lamar's friends and family that rehabilitation will take many months, and they believe an undetermined amount of damage to his body will be permanent, but the good news is that Khloe, is almost ex-wife will be with him throughout his therapy


Lamar will have physical, speech, and other therapists working with him for the foreseeable future.

She has kept a constant vigil by his bedside so far and she is determined to see this through.

Khloe has said nothing about her intentions with Lamar, or how her decisions might impact her relationship with James Harden.

One thing we do know ... Khloe dragged her feet for more than a year after filing for divorce, because she still loved Lamar and wanted to save him.

That's the power of true love at work.
