Odenkirk's son, Nate, also tweeted, "He's going to be okay."
News of Odenkirk's on-set collapse sparked growing concern among fans Wednesday, especially after hours went by with no updates on his condition. TMZ reports that it was "touch-and-go for the last day" since Odenkirk's collapse during shooting, but he's now reportedly awake and "on the rebound" at a hospital in Albuquerque.
Prior to Wednesday evening's update, Breaking Bad star Bryan Cranston was among those to wish Odenkirk a quick recovery, writing on Instagram, "Please take a moment in your day today to think about him and send positive thoughts and prayers his way."
