Amanda Kloots says doctors hopeful ‘a new infection’ won’t affect Nick Cordero’s progress

Her husband has been in hospital in Los Angeles for 84 days battling COVID-19.

And in her daily update on his condition via her Instagram, Amanda Kloots said Wednesday the Broadway actor has developed ‘a little bit of a new infection’.

However, the fitness instructor shared her video that doctors ‘got it under control and they’re switching some things out. They don’t think it will be any kind of issue for the progress that we’re hopefully making day by day.’

Kloots went on: ‘He was pretty much alert and had a good day with numbers so that’s good. We just kind of need slow, steady, stable days.’

Kloots and Cordero married in September 2017 and their son Elvis was born on June 10, 2019.

Cordero was admitted to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center with pneumonia in March and has been in intensive care ever since.

Doctors had to amputate his right leg due to complications from the coronavirus and the Rock of Ages and Waitress star has lots 65lbs and suffered major lung damage during his hospitalization.

Being bedridden and hooked up to machines for so long has caused his muscles to atrophy leaving him unable to move or speak and only able to communicate using his eyes.

Last week, Kloots explained that even when he recovers sufficiently to be able to leave hospital it will still be a long road to recovery for her husband who could face having to spend up to a year in a rehab facility.  

Also on Wednesday, Kloots thanked all those who had sent letters and cards for Nick. 

‘I read every single one of them to him,’ she told her Instagram followers.

‘It was so kind of you to take the time out of your day to write a handwritten note to Nick to cheer him on.’
