Lamar Odom was able to breathe on his own, with the help of a mask rather than a ventilator … TMZ has learned.

We’re told doctors are putting him back on the ventilator and used the mask as a test, and they plan on going back and forth to see if Lamar would be able to breath without heavy life support.
