Former NBA star, Lamar Odom, is walking again after months of therapy. According to Celebrity Gossiper sources, the former basketball star shocked doctors at his hospital, when he took three steps without his walker.
This marks yet another significant step forward in his recovery, which recently saw him improve in his range of arm movement.
Previously Odom had not been able to even move without the aid a walker. Odom was hospitalized by a drug overdose at a Vegas brothel earlier this fall.
Lamar is being supported by Khloe Kardashian, who put their divorce on hold in order to continue making medical decisions for him, and her family.
During a recent visit from wife Khloe, Odom reached above his head to put his hood on, a good sign of motor skill functionality. Unfortunately the overall prognosis of the former star athlete’s recovery remains in question.
‘He actually gets a little better every day,’ another source told US Weekly magazine.
‘He talks a bit more each day and walks with a walker but still has trouble processing his thoughts,’ the insider revealed. ‘It’s very slow but little by little.’
Despite the setbacks and the long road ahead, we’re glad to hear that there has been progress on the medical front for Lamar.
We’re all certainly rooting for his full and speedy recovery.
