The former LA Lakers star, for the first time, could socialize and move around, and is 'heading in the right direction,'
According to the Los Angeles Times,
Odom was 'conversational,' able to speak sentences and send text
messages. The Times also reported that a spokeswoman for Odom's aunt
also said that he was improving, as he is able to breath on his own.
The 35-year-old was also helped out of his bed and onto a chair and also passed a critical swallow test, E! News reported.
However,
most of the athlete's communication comes through a simple thumbs-up or
thumbs-down, E! News reported. A source close to the situation told E!
News: 'This is great progress but there is always the possibility for
setbacks.'
Odom
was taken off a ventilator on Friday night after he collapsed on
Tuesday during a drink and drug-fueled binge in a Nevada brothel.
