Lamar Odom’s health continues to improve, his aunt said on Thursday.

“To our overwhelming delight, Lamar’s courageous improvement continues on the incline in Los Angeles,” JaNean Mercer told E! News. “He is beginning to gradually flourish both mentally and physically.

“His use of speech has increased and he’s more cognitively responsive. His medical team has executed an aggressive therapy regimen to aid in his progress,” she continued.

Odom was found unconscious Oct. 13 at the Love Ranch brothel in Crystal, Nevada, and was rushed to a hospital in Pahrump before being moved to the Sunrise Hospital in Las Vegas.
