According to a source, Odom was able to communicate “yes” when asked if he wanted to see his children. The outlet reports that as of now, it’s unclear if he was able to speak or use body language to express his desire to see his family.
TMZ also reported that Odom is showing signs of improvement in the functioning of his heart. And that it is a good sign that a vital organ is on the mend.
Unfortunately, TMZ‘s sources are reporting that Odom is not communicating, unlike the reports from ET. Rather, the outlet says there are body movements including eye opening, but doctors are stating that they are all involuntary.
