I am so thankful to family, friends and fans, who have sent nothing but prayers and well wishes to Lamar."

He has also passed a swallowing test, a promising sign of neurological function, and has communicated using hand signals.The athlete has reportedly managed to say "Hey baby" and "Good morning" to Khloé since waking up, although he is still struggling to communicate and writes on note paper. "He whispers but doesn't talk," a source told In Touch.Since being moved to Los Angeles, Lamar has also managed to "take a few steps" as "he continues to make his miraculous progress", said his family in a statement.
