DMX sticks to life in an ICU unit with little brain function, but some family members who visited the rap icon do not give up.
Family sources tell TMZ, X’s fiancée, Desiree Lindstrom, and mother, Arnett Simmons, was allowed to visit the ICU to visit DMX, although he did not respond. As we reported, family sources say that some of his children are also coming to visit and hope they will be admitted.
TMZ first reported the OD and the fact it has limited brain function … the result of oxygen deficiency after his OD late Friday night. One source with direct knowledge told TMZ the forecast does not look good.
However, the rapper’s family does not give up. DMX had a heart attack during the OD, and family members hold out hope when the inflammation subsides, and his heart will recover. Of course, this has no effect on brain function.
Steve Rifkind, DMX Manager, asks TMZ to send this message … “Please pray for him.”
