Khloe Kardashian has revealed the long road to recovery estranged husband Lamar Odom faces after his hospitalization last month.

The 31-year-old star said she is trying to stay positive even though doctors say they can't be sure if the 36-year-old athlete will make a full recovery.

Khloe said during an interview with Today: 'They think, like, within a year and a half to two years that, mentally, he might be fully recovered. But they don't know.'

Staying positive: Khloe Kardashian has opened up about estranged husband Lamar Odom's recovery chances. Doctors say the athlete may take up to two years to fully recover mentally

The reality star said she's grateful that the athlete is no longer relying on life support but that things are moving very slowly.

'He is learning how to walk again and learning ... cognitive therapy and speech therapy,'

Khloe also relived the moment she got the phone call telling her Lamar was in a coma and was told he only have four hours to live.

'He is learning how to walk again and learning ... cognitive therapy and speech therapy,' the 31-year-old explained

Eventful: Khloe talked on the Today Show on Wednesday about her new book and the drama of the last couple of months

'It's a horrible call to get. Getting to the hospital and knowing he's in a coma and having to run these tests or make medical decisions. It's terrifying.'

The E! star said she always tried her best to stay positive despite hospital staff telling her how bleak the prognosis was.

The Kardashian star said she felt huge pressure having to make life-and-death decisions.

Difficult choices: The reality star (seen with Lamar in 2012) has had to make important decisions regarding his health as she remains married to the athlete

'You have to make risk-and-reward decisions,' she said.

'Like, OK, well, there's an 80 percent chance if we do this operation, he might pass away. But also if we don't do it, there's a 90 percent chance he'll pass away.'

Still married to the sportsman, Khloe said she is responsible for making decisions regarding Lamar's medical care as stated in his will.

Before the overdose, Khloe was having divorce proceedings expedited but put them on hold knowing that Lamar had nobody else to act as his medical adviser.

'I'm still separated with him, but I'm just not expediting them anymore' she confirmed.

Lamar was found unconscious in a Nevada brothel in October after a four-day bender.

Long road to recovery: Lamar - seen in February - is learning to walk and talk again and is having cognitive therapy after his hospitalization last month

Estranged: Khloe revealed that she canceled their divorce proceedings because Lamar had nobody else to make medical decisions for him

During a chat with Ryan Seacrest on Monday Khloe explained: 'What the doctors tell me is, "We don’t have a crystal ball" — they love reiterating that to me. I’m very optimistic and I want to believe he can.'

The Strong Looks Better Naked author continued, 'There are no promises, but if he’s willing to do the work — I know the speech therapy, or the occupational therapy, or just all the cognitive stuff I’m sure it’s really hard for him and frustrating — but if he’s willing to do it, I don’t see why not. But it will take at least a year.'

Khloe also revealed that Lamar’s organs are 'pretty much recovered.'

But it's 'more his brain that is affected.'

Khloe married Lamar in 2009 and the couple split in 2013.

Taken a toll: Khloe - pictured on November 9 - had to cancel her book signings this week as she is reportedly suffering a staph infection contracted during her time in hospital
