Amanda Kloots Updates that Nick Cordero Has Started Stem Cell Treatment

Amanda Kloots reached out on Instagram yesterday asking for help regarding the health of her husband, Nick Cordero.

"What Nick needs help with MOST is right now is someone who is or has researched the release of carbon dioxide from the lungs," her post read. "If you think you know of a doctor or trial to help ONLY that please reach out to me."

"We have started stem cell treatment for Nick," she updated this afternoon. "We decided on this a couple of days ago and the hospital got it moving. Of course there are absolutely no guarantees, but I'm just hoping that it will help him."

Broadway veteran Nick Cordero has now spent two months in the ICU, most of that spent in a coma due to complications from coronavirus, which resulted in the amputation of his leg.

Kloots' most recent update says that Cordero is getting 'slightly, slightly better every day.'

A GoFundMe drive for Cordero, Kloots, and their 10-month old son Elvis, has now raised over $550,000. If you can donate, please do so here.
