I can’t imagine what life is like right now for Amanda Kloots, the devoted young wife of Broadway star Nick Cordero. Forty nine days ago Cordero went into Cedars Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles and was diagnosed with corona virus. He’s gone through a coma, a leg amputation, infections, mini strokes. Kloots has been unflagging in her support and good cheer. It’s not easy to go through this kind of thing in private. But in public? She gets a purple heart.
Today she wrote on Instagram: “It’s day 49 in the hospital for Nick. We have a new hashtag #offthevent because our new goal for Nick is for his lung infection to clear up so that we can start breathing trials and get him off the ventilator! These are big goals, but I BELIEVE! We have an army behind him that cheered, sang and prayed for him to wake up so now we need to believe that this to can happen! He’s not done!”
Lung infection? Breathing trials? Still on ventilator? And unclear how much he’s actually “awakened” from his coma. Everyone is praying for Nick, who was nominated for a Tony award and has starred in three Broadway musicals. Nick and Amanda have a toddler son, Elvis, who’s waiting for him.
