VIDEO: Amanda Kloots Believes Nick Cordero 'Will Wake Up'

"CBS This Morning" co-host Gayle King spoke to Broadway actor Nick Cordero's wife, fitness instructor Amanda Kloots, who says she is optimistic about his recovery. Cordero suffered a setback in his battle against the coronavirus when the 41-year-old Tony nominee went into septic shock after developing a lung infection. Cordero is in a medically induced coma and has been on a ventilator for a month.

Kloots spoke about when Cordero was first admitted to the hospital, saying, "I was getting a little worried at this point, yes. It was the next morning, at 4:00 a.m., he called me and he said, "Honey, they want to put me on a ventilator. And-- again, we were just talking over the phone. We FaceTimed quickly. And he's saying, "I love you. Oh my gosh. Okay." And he said, "I'm a little scared."

Kloots is optimistic about Cordero's condition, and she told King, "I feel like there is an army of people behind him, behind us, and I just believe-- I get chills saying it. I just believe that he will wake up."

The healing continues for Cordero, the Broadway veteran, who remains in a coma in a Los Angeles hospital after surgeons amputated his right leg because of complications from the coronavirus.
