Coronavirus-stricken Broadway star Nick Cordero has lost 65 pounds in his ongoing battle against the illness, his wife revealed Wednesday night.
Amanda Kloots gave an update on Cordero’s condition as she took questions on Instagram Live, telling fans that her husband is still “so weak.”
“No, unfortunately not,” Kloots responded when asked if Cordero could move at all. “That’s what’s so heartbreaking — is he’s so weak.
“He’s so weak that he still can’t move. And his muscles are definitely atrophying. He’s lost 65 pounds,” she said.
Cordero, 41, has been hospitalized since April at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in LA with COVID-19 symptoms.
His leg was amputated due to complications of the virus, he was placed in a medically induced coma that he has since come out of, and he also suffered a lung infection.
Kloots, a 38-year-old fitness trainer, told a fan that “we got a long, long road ahead,” when asked if she’s been given a possible discharge date for Cordero.
“Unfortunately, it could be months from now still — best case scenario,” she said.
