'Thanks for your outpouring of prayers and support for our dad. We are here with our family and friends. We appreciate everyone respecting our privacy at this time. We ask for your continued prayers,' read the statement, which was given to E! News.
Destiny, 17, and Lamar Jr, 13, arrived in Las Vegas Wednesday night along with their mother Liza Morales and Lamar's aunt JaNean Mercer. Odom has been in a medically induced coma since Tuesday, when he was found unconscious and foaming at the mouth in the VIP suite of a Nevada brothel.
On Thursday, Entertainment Tonight reported that Odom's family had been given a 'glimmer of hope' when his eyes fluttered and he squeezed former sister-in-law Kim Kardashian West's hand at the hospital Wednesday night.
But TMZ says that the squeeze may have been an involuntary motion and that it was ex Khloe's hand he touched. Sources told the gossip site that doctors are beginning to lose hope for Odom, since the more time he spends in a coma, the less likely he is to come out and recover.
Four of Odom's organs - including his kidneys - continue to fail, diminishing his chances of survival.
'The doctors are concerned it has been too long that he's been in this condition and now it's not looking good,' one source told TMZ.
