Lamar Odom is on the up and up, according to the Kardashians.

Kourtney Kardashian stopped by The Ellen DeGeneres Show Monday, where she and host Ellen DeGeneres called Khloe Kardashian via FaceTime to get a health update on the former NBA player. "Lamar is doing great, by the way," Kourtney, 36, said. "He was over over the weekend."

When Khloe picked up her phone, she confirmed Lamar is doing "really good" since overdosing last fall. "He's really good," she echoed. "I actually just told him I had to go FaceTime you guys."

Ellen was curious as to whether the 36-year-old athlete has become "more aware" of his situation throughout his recovery process. "He hadn't been out, and now I guess he's been to the house and he's walking around and talking and remembering things," the daytime host said.

"He's doing really good. His long-term memory is great," Khloe, 31, said. "His short-term memory isn't so good, but if I met someone earlier today I probably wouldn't remember either, so that's understandable. But he's great. He's hung out with Kourt's and [Kim Kardashian]'s kids. He loves family time. So, he's been doing really good. I think it makes him feel good to be around everyone, too, and to just be in a happy environment over obviously where he was."

Kourtney added that the Kardashian family has explained "the situation" and called his recovery "a miracle," considering doctors once feared he only had four hours to live. According to his estranged wife, "Every day he'll ask me, like, 'So, what happened to me?' Today specifically, he was like, 'How many tubes did I have in me again?' And I'm like, 'I don't know what's too serious to tell you,' but I'm honest. I'm like, 'Well, just a lot. I didn't count. I don't know.' But it's good that he wants to know these answers. Before he didn't want to know he wasn't ready to know. So, it's great that he's at the point that he's ready to know everything happened."
