Increased optimism continues to bloom surrounding Lamar Odom’s recovery after he spent nearly all of Friday without the aid of a ventilator, according to multiple sources familiar with the situation. Odom, the former Lakers and Clippers forward, also showed improvement with his breathing and vision, including recognizing his father Joe, daughter Destiny and son Lamar Jr., sources added.
Odom still feels fatigued and remains physically limited, sources said. Concerns also persist on the state of his kidneys, though there is a feeling that they are fixable. But Odom has shown slight albeit steady improvement in the last three days after he was initially hospitalized Tuesday night at Sunrise Hospital and Medical Center in Las Vegas.
