Good news about Lamar Odom’s remarkable recovery continues to pour in, as TMZ reports today that Odom is awake and communicating with doctors and family members.
One hospital source even claims that Odom is “speaking sentences” and text messaging with friends.
On Tuesday, Odom was found unconscious in his suite at the Love Ranch brothel in Pahrump, Nevada.
He was taken to a Las Vegas hospital where doctors determined that Odom had overdosed on a cocktail of drugs. Initial reports indicated that the 35-year-old former NBA star was unlikely to ever regain consciousness.
Miraculously, Odom began to show significant signs of improvement on Friday afternoon.
Odom reportedly opened his eyes when doctors removed his breathing tube, and he was taken off life support shortly thereafter.
Insiders say Lamar is far from out of the woods, but he’s currently doing considerably better than expected.
Though he remains hooked up to a dialysis machine and has almost certainly suffered at least mild brain damage, Odom is now expected to pull through.
Less than 48 hours ago, those closest to the former reality star were said to be bracing themselves for news of his death.
We’ll keep you updated on Odom’s condition as more details become available.
