On Thursday, the wife of Broadway star Amanda Kloots told “CBS This Morning” host Gayle King that “many things would have to line up” for a transplant to be performed.
“That is probably the possibility,” Kloots said of the transplant. “A 99 percent chance that I would need it to live the kind of life I know my husband would want to live.”
She said Cordero is still “extremely weak” after being in the hospital’s intensive care unit for three months.
She visits him in the hospital every day, she said to King, calling him “vicious circle or the ICU dance because you feel like you’re in this moment of going round and round and round like a hamster wheel.”
But, still, Kloots said it is trying to stay positive.
“They told me four times that he won’t survive. Sometimes even he won’t survive overnight, but he has,” he told King. “He’s fighting. I see him every day. Nick’s doctor sees him. And while he’s there and fighting, I’ll continue to fight him.”
She continued: “I tell him every day before I go, I tell him, ‘Okay, this is what you have to focus on. We are both sitting in our new house, Elvis is in bed and we are listening to’ Our House ‘in our house in Laurel Canyon. “
Cordero and Kloots are parents to their 1-year-old son, Elvis.
Cordero, who was admitted to the hospital in late March, is out of a coma and a negative Covid, according to his wife. His right leg was amputated and he received a temporary pacemaker for his heart that has since been removed. It is now “stable,” added Kloots.
“It’s okay. It’s stable,” he said. “He can still open his eyes, and when he’s alert and awake, he’ll respond to commands looking up or down, yes or no. When I ask him, he’ll even try to smile or move his jaw.” All the nurses have said they answer my questions the best. “
