Nick Cordero’s wife bursts into tears as she says she hopes he’ll wake up in time for Mother’s Day amid COVID-19 battle
NICK Cordero’s wife, Amanda Kloots, has her hopes up he could regain consciousness for Mother’s Day on Sunday.
Taking to Instagram Live on Wednesday, she said she’s optimistic the Broadway star – who has been in a medically induced coma and lost his leg, as a result of contracting the coronavirus – could soon wake up.
The dancer and trainer said that one of his doctors told her that her husband is in the “very, very, very early, early, early, early stages of tracking,” which means he is showing signs that he could regain consciousness.
“Mother’s Day is Sunday, maybe he’ll wake up for me and his mom, what a gift,” she said, crying.
It comes a day after Kloots admitted that she was having trouble remaining optimistic after Cordero “had a little bit of a rocky night.”
“I’ve had a little bit of a frustrating day, I’m going to be honest,” confessed Kloots, who shares 10-month-old son, Elvis, with husband Cordero.
“I’m just a little frustrated and sad.”
In addition to waiting on her husband to wake up, Kloots earlier had to make the tough decision to have his leg amputated in order to save his life.
She revealed last Friday that he was finally off a ventilator.
She told her fans: “He is on the trach! They did it, and he’s OK, and he is free of the ventilator.”
“Thank God. We have been trying to do this for Nick for so many weeks now, and it just kept getting stalled and pushed back because of his health.”
“And now, he was finally healthy enough today to get the trach and the ventilator is out, his face is clear of all those tubes.”
She continued: “This is just amazing news guys, because we really needed this to happen, to get him off that ventilator.”

Nick had one of his legs amputated as doctor’s fought to save his life.
He also developed an infection in his lungs, which spread to his blood and caused him to go into septic shock.
As Amanda waits to see her husband, she’s been living in Zach Braff’s guest home with her and Nick’s 10-month-old baby.
