Although the basketball star remains hospitalized, Khloé
Kardashian is making sure he rings in the extra special day filled with lots of
love and those who care about him most.
E! News has learned that the 32-year-old reality star is
throwing him a small party in the hospital, giving him an opportunity to leave
his room for a little while to celebrate.
"There will be balloons and a cake," an insider tells us. "Khloe has organized everything. It will be the Kardashian clan and a few of Lamar's closest friends and former team mates that are not NBA Players."
Unfortunately, Lamar's children—who live in New York—will
not be able to fly out for the party as they have school, but our source
tells us they may be able to visit next week for a belated celebration.
Lamar's aunt, Janean Mercer, has released a statement on
the family's behalf in honor of the special day.
"Happy Birthday Lamar! We want to THANK everyone
from around the world for your continued prayers and well wishes for Lamar and
our family. Every birthday with Lamar is special but today is an especially
momentous occasion and we honor GOD for this day and thank HIM for allowing us
to spend this time together."
She adds, "Please continue to keep Lamar and our family
in prayer as he continues on this miraculous journey."
Meanwhile, the insider tells us that Lamar's recovery is
going slowly but he's doing OK.
"He is making progress but it is slow. He is still
working on improving his cognitive and motor skills.
He is finding it difficult to express his thoughts. He
can stand up, but only with assistance, [and he] still has help with
eating."
Though we're sure the birthday boy will certainly appreciate
Khloe's thoughtfulness, our source says it's difficult to decipher his mood as
he is still currently under quite a bit of medication.
