Amanda Kloots is providing the world with an update on the health of her husband, Nick Cordero.
The fitness expert, who shares a 1-year-old son with Cordero, recently said that the Broadway star will likely need a double lung transplant to recover from coronavirus complications.
Making an appearance on the Thursday episode of “CBS This Morning,” Kloots lamented her husband’s constant health difficulties since he was admitted to the hospital in late March.

Although Cordero, 41, came out of a medically induced coma and tested negative for the disease, Kloots, 38, argued with Gayle King that Cordero remains “extremely weak” and said there is a high probability that make. You need to undergo a double lung transplant to give you the best chance for recovery.
“That is probably the possibility,” Kloots said, adding that finding the way for her husband to have the procedure is the “ultimate goal.”

“[There is] a 99 percent chance I would need it to live the kind of life I know my husband would want to live, “said Kloots. “That is a long way off and a lot of things would have to be lined up for Nick to be a candidate.”
Kloots compared his daily visits to the hospital to see Cordero in a “vicious circle or at the ICU dance because you feel that you are in this moment of turning, turning, turning like a hamster wheel”.

She said she simply wants the family to “get out of the hamster’s wheel.”
In addition, he said that doctors have been mixed up on Cordero’s overall prognosis, but since he has been proving them wrong, he is hopeful that he will recover.

“They told me four times that he won’t survive. Sometimes even he won’t survive overnight, but he has,” Kloots explained. “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, ‘Well, this is what you should focus on. The two of us sitting in our new house … [their son] Elvis is in bed and we are listening to ‘Our Home’ at our home in Laurel Canyon. ”

Cordero’s motor functions remain weak, but Kloots said he is still consistent enough to respond to commands using his eyes. She said that keeps her determined to move on with her husband even when she loses hope.
“He is doing well. He is stable. He can still open his eyes and when he is alert and awake, he will respond to orders looking up or down, yes or no questions,” he explained. “When I ask him, he will even try to smile or move his jaw. All the nurses have said that he answers my questions the best.”

Kloots said he looks forward to the day he grabs the Lamb’s hand and he “holds my hand.”
