When Lamar Odom was hospitalized last week following a drug overdose at a Nevada brothel, Khloe Kardashian raced to his side—and she hasn't left it since.

But what does this mean for Khloe and James Harden, the Houston Rockets player she began dating over the summer? They're still dating, a source tells E! News, adding that James, 26, and Khloe, 31, have been in constant contact throughout this entire ordeal with Lamar, 35.

James has been extremely busy with the NBA pre-season, but a source tells People he's still being "as supportive as humanly possible [to Khloe] given the situation."

"Lamar essentially has zero consistent family other than the Kardashians, and James understands that," adds a source. "The last thing he would want to do would be to add more stress to her plate."

Khloe definitely doesn't need any more stress piled on her right now. In a statement posted to her website Tuesday, she summed up the past week as having been "incredibly difficult."

"I am so thankful to family, friends and fans, who have sent nothing but prayers and well wishes to Lamar," she wrote. "You can never be prepared for an experience like this, but without the outpouring of love and endless prayers that Lamar has received and the strength I was given from my loved ones, it would have been difficult to endure. Thank you for your continued support. God is great!!!"

Lamar has certainly made progress since he awoke from a coma Friday afternoon, but he still has a long road of recovery ahead of him. "You can tell it's taking a toll on Khloé," a source tells E! News, "but she is staying strong for Lamar."
