On the other hand, his wife Kourtney Kardashian also shared an update on same day via her Instagram page thanking God for healing her husband.
Kourtney wrote, “Oh what a scary and emotional week it has been.

I am so touched and so appreciative. I am so thankful to our specialists, doctors, and nurses at Cedars Sinai for taking such wonderful care of my husband and me during our stay.”
