Nick Cordero’s lungs ‘badly damaged and full of holes’ in the middle of the battle of Covid-19

Nick Cordero’s condition at the hospital has deteriorated again as he battles the new coronavirus.

The 41-year-old Broadway star has been in intensive care since the end of March, and it was reported last week that Nick’s leg was amputated after complications with blood clots.

His wife, Amanda Kloots, has updated her followers with the devastating news that her lungs are now “severely damaged” and that there are “holes in her lungs.”

The fitness instructor spoke about her husband’s condition in his Instagram story, revealing that Nick’s CT scans showed that he was “free of internal bleeding,” but that his lungs had been “severely damaged to look almost like a smoker during 50 years”.

Amanda wrote: “They are so damaged. There are holes in her lungs where you obviously don’t want there to be holes.”

“So this kind of finding was because his oxygen count decreased, and therefore decreased, and went into the lungs.”

“They cleaned his lungs again. It wasn’t as bad as the couple of days before, but they had to clean his lungs again.”

Amanda said doctors will scan Nick’s lungs with ink so they can “get a better idea of ​​what’s going on” and “discover from this culture what the fungus is so they can specifically administer the proper medication to attack that fungus.” “

She continued, “The doctor I was talking to is absolutely wonderful and has the best way to sleep.

“So the doctor told me that if Nick was seventy years old, we would have a different conversation. He is 41 years old, and he has been fighting. He has been fighting very hard.”

“We know that he has literally been thrown on every curveball that could be thrown.”

“He told me that if I were his brother there, I would not be giving up hope. So I will not give up hope. I will not give up hope.”

The situation has had an impact on Amanda’s mental and emotional state and she spoke later in the day about the effects it has had.

She said, “It is very difficult. It is definitely the most difficult thing I have ever had to go through. It is definitely the most difficult thing I think will probably have to happen.”

“It’s hard to keep my spirits up. I’m not going to lie. I have times when I’m absolutely terrified and super scared.”

Amanda added: “Sometimes when I hear news like the one I heard yesterday, I just say, ‘Really? Really?’ It’s almost like we can’t take a break here and that’s hard to handle, it’s very hard to handle.

“I definitely let myself cry. I definitely let myself scream and get angry and just get frustrated.”

Nick Cordero is best known for starring in Rock of Ages and Waitress on Broadway and was nominated for a Tony for his role in Bullets Over Broadway.
