Nick Cordero's Wife Says He's Starting To Respond To Commands

Nick Cordero's wife Amanda Kloots has a huge update on the Broadway star as he's "starting to follow commands."

Just a day after Mother's Day, Kloots, 38, took to Instagram Stories to reveal that Cordero, 41, who has been hospitalized and placed in a medically induced coma since late March amid his battle with COVID-19, is making some progress with his health. "He is very, very, very weak still so it is very slow progress when they ask him to do things, but that you can see he is trying, which is awesome. So it's obviously like registering and he is trying to do the things they ask him to do," she explained to her viewers.

"I mean it's such a blessing," the fitness instructor continued. "I can't even tell you. We did a big cheer because ... we've been waiting for at least this little momentum."

Despite having several infections in his lungs, Kloots said doctors are clearing out things "every single day." As for next steps, it appears Cordero should be moved off of dialysis and off of the ventilators that "help him with his trach [tube]."

Cordero has been hit with roadblock after roadblock in his battle against COVID-19. Not only was he initially diagnosed with pneumonia, but he had to have his leg amputated after issues with blood clots and had a temporary pacemaker placed inside him after he experienced some irregular heartbeats. Soon after, he went on a ventilator. Eventually, though, the star underwent a tracheostomy procedure to help remove him from the ventilator.
