Lamar Odom released from hospital in Las Vegas and airlifted to rehab facility in LA as he tells estranged wife Khloe Kardashian: 'I love you'

Lamar Odom has been discharged from Sunrise hospital in Las Vegas, almost a week since he was found unconscious from a near-fatal overdose in a brothel.

According to reports, the onetime NBA great has been breathing on his own this week after collapsing last Tuesday and was even able to tell his estranged wife, Khloe Kardashian: 'I love you'.

Odom was airlifted about 5.30pm to Los Angeles, where he will continue rehabilitation.

 

 

 

E! News has reported that Khloe rode in the helicopter with her husband to LA. 

Odom was previously prohibited from being airlifted because of his condition.

He is 'making fast progress' and can now move his arms and legs.

However he has been unable to stand up, even with assistance, according to the report.

A CT scan came back clean, but there may be some cognitive issues ahead.

Odom remains on dialysis due to kidney failure.

However E! also reported that he recently passed a swallowing test, which is a good sign of neurological function. 

CNN reported Monday that, after waking from his coma, Odom managed to muster the strength to tell Khloe: 'I love you.'

She has not left his side since the collapse and travels with him everywhere in the hospital.

Odom has 'months' of treatment ahead of him as he continues to recover.

It is still unclear however whether he will fully recover.
