Man, I'm pulling for this guy!!!!!!

LAS VEGAS -- Lamar Odom is conscious and breathing on his own in a Las Vegas hospital and has spoken a few words, a source told ESPN on Friday.

Odom no longer has a breathing tube, the source said. He is wearing a breathing mask and remains in critical condition, however.

Sources told ESPN that Odom's condition had been improving slightly over the past 36 hours, but he remained sedated as doctors worked to make sure his organs functioned properly.

Odom has been in the hospital since Tuesday, when he was found unconscious at Nevada's Love Ranch brothel, 90 minutes northwest of Las Vegas. He was rushed to the hospital and put on life support. As recently as Thursday night, sources told ESPN that Odom was "not out of the woods yet."

Wednesday, Nye County sheriff Sharon Wehrly said that an employee called 911 dispatchers and said Odom was unresponsive with blood and "white stuff" coming from his nose and mouth.

Late Thursday night, Khloe Kardashian, Odom's estranged wife, said her family won't be posting content online while attending to his health crisis. Kardashian's representative confirmed Friday that the message on the reality TV star's official app was posted by the family.

It read: "As a family, we've decided to hold off on publishing content across our apps while we continue to support and pray for Lamar."

She also thanked fans for their kindness and understanding. The message was addressed to fans as a note from Kardashian.

Meanwhile, Odom's aunt and godmother also thanked the public for its support, saying they're focused on his "complete healing."

Publicist Alvina Alston issued a statement Friday on behalf of JaNean Mercer, Odom's maternal aunt and godmother.

The statement said in part: "No words can express the overwhelming gratitude we feel for the outpouring of support from around the world."

Alston said Mercer is the sister of Odom's late mother, who helped raise him in New York, where Mercer still lives. Mercer and other family members are now in Las Vegas.

The statement said: "His complete healing is paramount and our primary focus."

thats incredible... A guy in my office from his area heard he was in a coma with organ failure and it looked like a Bobby Kristina situation. Fingers crossed for Lamar. Maybe this is his bottom and he can get this figured out. Anyone who has ever been around this guy knows he's good people.

Apologies if I sounded so convinced of his impending death... Im not one to spread dodgy info. It all seemed to fit. Sorry if mislead anyone.

Hoping he makes it through this... he could help a lot of people. Speedy and full recovery Lamar

Everything you read and hear about the guy is that he was genuinely a good guy and a great teammate...He just had some demons that he never overcame..I hope he recovers and learns from this..Help lead to a new path and help others...

Wow. I thought you were just unfunny and short-sighted about basketball. But it appears you're actually a bad dude.

I never liked or disliked Odom very much, but I am rooting for him. Gotta feel sympathy and pull for another human being in his condition.

I am rooting for him like no other. My comment was for the other bad dudes who made horribly sensitive remarks about him. Unfortunately, I did not see this poster really get chastised by anyone for some odd reason. DISGUSTING IMHO.

I'm going to stick around this forum a while longer but I'm having my doubts about signing up. Do moderators do anything around here?

Not sure what you guys are referring to, care to offer some clarity?

I know the kid likes to constantly disagree but this is to far. This is not the topic to play devils advocate. We are talking about a man in grave danger. And to say fuk him . Is not only disrespectful to him and his family. It's disrespectful to this forum and gives it a bad image.. Shame on him

Martin and Andrew have some techie geeks- might be tied to the Russian mob- who will probably hack into mreinman's computer and mess it up reeaal good.

Things get nasty now and then, but this is not the norm.

Awesome news. Im no fan of the Kardashians (and I will leave it at that) but its good that his wife is there for him, and he isnt going through this alone. She seems to be keeping the paparazzi away.

Hes a big time loser. Many people are given tough cards. The NBA gave him the ticket out and he threw it away. Terrible role model waste of time.

perfect!

Couldnt think of a more insensitive and ignorant way to put it.
