Lamar Odom 's recovery from a drug overdose and almost three-day coma has been described as "miraculous," but he is not out of the woods yet. On Friday morning, he woke up and spoke for the first time since he was hospitalized on Tuesday following a drug overdose at a brothel in Nevada, telling Khloé Kardashian, "Hey, baby," and giving her the thumbs up. As of Friday evening, the 35-year-old former NBA star remains on dialysis due to kidney failure. Doctors also say they won't know the extent of the possible brain damage he had suffered until he is fully awake. E! News has also learned Odom is "100 percent breathing," with a non rebreather mask pumping oxygen in place of a ventilator he had been hooked up to.
