Nick Cordero's wife, Amanda Kloots, is opening up about the Broadway star's battle with the novel coronavirus (COVID-19).
Kloots shared in a heartbreaking Instagram post on Thursday just exactly what her husband has gone through since he was hospitalized in late March.
The fitness instructor — who shares 10-month-old son Elvis Eduardo with Cordero, 41 — wrote alongside the last family photo the actor took before falling ill, "Nick is 41 years old. He had no pre-existing health conditions. We do not know how he got COVID-19 but he did."
"He went to the ER on March 30th and intubated on a ventilator on April 1," she shared.
"Since then has he has suffered an infection that caused his heart to stop, he needed resuscitation, he had two mini strokes, went on ECMO, needed surgery to removal an ECMO cannula that was restricting blood flow to his leg, a faciatomy to relieve pressure on the leg, an amputation of his right leg, an MRI to further investigate brain damage, several bronchial sweeps to clear out his lungs, a septis infection causing septic shock, a fungus in his lungs, holes in his lungs, a tracheostomy, blood clots, low blood count and platelet levels, and a temporary pacemaker to assist his heart."
