Broadway star Nick Cordero, who has been battling COVID-19 for more than a month, has emerged from a medically induced coma. His wife, fitness trainer Amanda Kloots, announced the news on Tuesday.
"[His lungs] look almost like he's been a smoker for 50 years. They're that damaged," Kloots said."There are holes in his lungs where obviously you don't want holes to be."
Kloots, Cordero and her 11-month-old son, Elvis, recently moved from New York City to Los Angeles so that Cordero could star in a West Coast production of"Rock Of Ages," which he also starred in on Broadway. Kloots said on April 30 that Cordero's hospitalization has been"very hard to deal with." "I've definitely let myself cry. I have definitely let myself scream in rage and just be frustrated, but I think what I always come around to is what will help Nick the most right now? What will help me the most right now?" she said.
"It serves me no purpose just to sit and worry and go down a hole, so I'm not," she continued."If I can give anything to Nick, it's light and it's positivity and it's strength from afar. I also have to be a mom and be here for my son, and I know Nick would want me to do that for Elvis." Friends set up a GoFundMe to help Kloots and Cordero cover medical bills and make their new home in Los Angeles wheelchair accessible. It has already raised over $500,000.
