Lamar Odom on the mend and speaking to Khloe Kardashian

New information just became available on Lamar Odom’s condition and it looks like the former NBA star might be waking up. According to a brand new report from E! Online, Lamar Odom seems to be recovering.

For the first time since falling into a coma, sources are reporting that Lamar Odom woke up even though it was very brief. Lamar reportedly opened his eyes and when he saw Khloe Kardashian by his side, he said “Hey Baby.” Then Lamar gave his estranged wife a thumbs up, closed his eyes and went back to sleep.

It has also been reported that Lamar Odom is no longer using a breathing tube. Odom’s heart is showing signs of improvement but doctors say he still has plenty of issues to work through. Lamar reportedly suffered a series of strokes while in the hospital and doctors fear that Odom will suffer both physical and mental impairment because of all the damage from the drug overdose.

This seems like a miracle for Lamar to be responding so well. Many were comparing Odom’s condition to that of the late Bobbi Kristina Brown. The difference being that Lamar wasn’t denied oxygen to his brain for nearly as long and was given medical treatment fast enough that he still had plenty of brain activity.

Fans and friends of Lamar Odom fear that if he does pull through, the ex-Los Angeles Lakers star will never be the same again. The effects of the overdose have definitely taken a toll on the basketball player’s body and doctors have warned that he might suffer long term brain damage.

Despite their separation and pending divorce, Khloe Kardashian has been by Lamar’s side since she was told of his collapse at a Nevada brothel. The rest of Khloe’s family have been on hand then left to take care of some business. There are reports that the Kardashian and Jenner clan is headed back to Las Vegas as a support system for Khloe while she stands by her man.
