6. Responsive But Slow

Sources told People that Lamar is “responsive, but very slow.” “He can carry out simple directions, but it takes some time for him to do it,” the source said. “He has wrecked his body, so it’ll take time to figure out how well he can come back. But everyone knows that he’ll never be the same as he was before this happened. There will always be lasting effects, and doctors are just trying to minimize them.”
