Days after revealing that Nick Cordero, 41, was in a "very bad" spot with his coronavirus recovery, his wife, Amanda Kloots, shared some good news.
The Broadway star’s spouse posted on her Instagram Story Wednesday to tell her followers that Cordero’s condition has improved somewhat, despite him still being unconscious.

She added: "Also his right foot is not showing a pulse but the wound looks better. Breathing is a bit fast this morning."
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Koots previously explained that Cordero’s condition seemed to be improving before doctors discovered an infection in his lung that caused his fever to spike, leading to a drop in his blood pressure. He eventually had to be resuscitated by doctors who placed him on an ECMO machine to help support his heart and lungs.
Soon after posting that his blood pressure had improved, she posted a video message to fans revealing that her husband is making even more moves in the right direction.
"I’m just going to share some really, really good news we just got about Nick. His heart and lungs are stronger," she said. "They’re weaning him off the ECMO machine in hopes that tomorrow morning he will be able to have surgery to take the ECMO machine out. This would mean that his heart and lungs would be running on their own."

While waiting for Cordero to regain consciousness, Kloots has been encouraging fans to join her at 3 p.m. each day to sing and dance for her husband in the hopes that he’ll somehow feel the positive energy and wake up.
"Big win! We still need him to wake up and we’re going to keep pushing for that and singing and dancing," she concluded her video post. "I’ll see you guys at 3 p.m but guys it’s a small win in the right direction for our Nick."
