MTV host T.J. Lavin is showing some signs of improvement following the bike accident that left him in a coma, ESPN reports.
"He moved his hands around and he gave the docs a thumbs-up. He is not conscious. He's back on sedation to rest and minimize brain swelling," his mother Barbara said, according to ESPN.
