Lamar Odom was awake and responsive with his estranged wife Khloe Kardashian on Friday. Odom's heart has showed evidence of increased function.

“She reached down and said ‘you know I love you’ and he kind of nodded,” Jim Harrick said. “Three or four days after being scared to death and fearing the worst, that is a little hope, a little progress. She texted me that (information).”

Harrick coached Odom at Rhode Island.

Kardashian and Odom are still technically married as their divorce has not yet been finalized.
