A fan site, backstreets.com, reported that Clemons is responsive and in stable condition, and making some progress.
"Yesterday, it did not look good at all. Today... miracles are happening. His vital signs are improving," a friend told the website.
"He's responsive. His eyes are welling up when we're talking to him."
The source added: "He was paralyzed on his left side, but now he's squeezing with his left hand. This is the best news we've heard since (the stroke) happened -- it's nothing short of miraculous."
Clemons's last appearance with Springsteen's legendary rock band was in December. He also made a cameo performance on the song "The Edge of Glory" on Lady Gaga's recently released "Born This Way" album.
The pop star issued a get-well greeting to Clemons via Twitter Monday.
"Little monsters, my very close friend +musician on The Edge of Glory, Clarence Clemons is very sick. Can we all make some get well videos?" she wrote.
