Amanda Kloots Share Great Update on Nick Cordero's Recovery Progress- 'He Is Starting to Follow Commands'

Broadway veteran Nick Cordero has been in a coma in a Los Angeles hospital after surgeons amputated his right leg because of complications from the coronavirus. His wife, fellow Broadway veteran Amanda Kloots, reports great news on his recovery progress today: "The doctor has confirmed that Nick is starting to follow commands. [It's a] huge deal! He is very weak still, so it is very slow progress when they ask him to do things, but you can see that he is trying," she explains. "The next big goals would be to move him off dialysis and off of ventilator help with his trach."

A GoFundMe drive for Cordero, Kloots, and their 10-month old son Elvis, has now raised over $500,000. If you can donate, please do so here.
