Former NBA star, Lamar Odom, is conscious and breathing on his own, according to US media reports.
According to ET Online, the former reality star has opened his eyes and has been able to communicate.
He was able to say “Hi” to estranged wife Khloe Kardashian, a source with knowledge of the situation said Friday.
Alvina Alston, a spokesperson for Odom’s aunt, JaNean Mercer revealed that the 35-year-old athlete was able to open his mouth and speak on Friday.
When his doctor asked how he was doing, Lamar gave thumbs up and responded, “Good morning.”
Earlier in the day, a source also told ET that when asked if he wanted to see his children, the 6’10 athlete communicated “Yes”. It is unclear if he spoke or used body language in that conversation.
E Online also reported that he said ‘Hi’ to former wife and reality star, Khloe Kardashian who rushed to be by his side when the incident happened.
Odom has been at Sunrise Hospital, USA for three days, after being found unconscious on Tuesday at the Love Ranch, a legal brothel in Crystal, Nevada, where he allegedly spent $75,000 during a four-day stay.
