Lamar Odom is making progress and it has been confirmed that the former NBA player is now out of the hospital, conscious and is able to speak sentences.

As reported by the Review Journal, it was noted that Odom is now on his way to Los Angeles with his estranged wife, Khloe Kardashian, via helicopter. There, he will receive more specialized treatment.

Furthermore, last friday morning, it was noted that he even gave his doctors a thumbs up and spoke briefly, according to a family spokeswoman who spoke of Odom's official condition.

Alvina Alston, the spokeswoman of the family said, "That is the only thing we can confirm at this moment and cannot answer any further questions on his condition."

In a related report by People, a source said that during Odom's stay at the hospital, "Khloé and several nurses are with him. Lamar still can't walk but has left the hospital in a bed."

His estranged wife was reported to be by his side ever since the news of hospitalization broke last week. And although Odom's condition may be improving, sources are saying that he still has a long way to go in his recovery.

Sources added, "He's responsive, but there are so many things that could go wrong right now, and the doctors have still been guarded. Khloé has been praying a lot, both to herself and out loud to Lamar. She wants him to know that she's still on his side, and that everyone is praying for him."

According to CNN, the incident started when Odom was reported to have stayed for three days in a Las Vegas brothel and was noted to have taken a mixture of cocaine and 10 herbal viagras.

However, the brothel's owner Dennis Hof said repeatedly that he and his workers never saw Odom taking any drugs. As of now, Odom is on his way to recovery and undergoing much needed physical therapy.
