“Lamar is doing well and opened his eyes this morning,” an insider tells Us. “He grabbed the doctor’s hand and his first word was ‘Hello.’” Odom, who has been in the hospital since Tuesday, Oct. 13, after being found unconscious at the legal Love Ranch South brothel in Pahrump, Nev., is also now breathing on his own. 

“Once he started breathing, they asked him if he wanted to see Khloe,” the source adds, explaining that estranged wife Khloe Kardashian had to leave the room while doctors were removing his ventilator. “It is really a miracle. His heart is working and everything.” The source adds that doctors are still unclear exactly what caused Odom to go into a coma. “He was not brain dead,” the insider claims. “The truth is, doctors are still figuring out a lot right now.”

E! News claimed that Odom said “Hey baby” to Kardashian and even gave her a thumbs-up before going back to sleep.

According to a second source close to the situatuon, "Lamar is conscious and was able to say 'Hi' to Khloe, but his condition remains guarded."

“Khloe has been there by his side all day, every day,” the first source tells Us. “She hasn’t left his side.” Odom’s kids, Destiny and Lamar Jr., were also able to see and speak to their dad.
