Lamar Odom is still making good progress, although there is still a chance that he could suffer setbacks after waking up from a coma following a health crisis last week.
E! News reported Odom received a swallow test in order to check on how his neurological function was and he passed it. Since his breathing tube had been taken out, doctors wanted to make sure Odom was capable of swallowing without aid.
Another sign that Odom is doing well occurred when he was moved from his bed for the first time to a chair. His breathing did not indicate any sign of distress as he was moved, although he still reportedly needs oxygen from a mask.
While Odom is making progress, he still has “the possibility for setbacks.”
As previously reported, Odom woke up on Friday and upon seeing wife Khloe Kardashian, he responded with “hey baby” and continued to sleep.
As for communication, Odom is still using hand signals in order to answer someone when asked a question.
Odom has received plenty of support since his hospitalization, from his family to the Kardashian-Jenner clan to some of his former basketball teammates, including Kobe Bryant. He has been in the hospital since Tuesday when he was found unconscious at a brothel in Nevada.
