Amanda Kloots has shared a health update on her husband, Nick Cordero, as well as the good news that she is finally able to have in-person visits with him at the hospital.

This afternoon on her Instagram story, she shared a positive update on his blood pressure after asking for prayers earlier in the month.

"Do you guys want to know some good news, and the power of prayer?" Kloots said, "Yesterday, Nick's blood pressure in the morning, his medicine was at 32 mcg, now it's at 3."

She also shared a shot of her ICU visitation confirmation and her visitor's badge with the caption, "Guess where I'm heading!!!" She added a shot of the exterior of the hospital with the caption, "Everyday."

Earlier in the week she went into detail about Nick's physical condition, sharing that the actor has lost 65 pounds and that "he's so weak that he still can't move and his muscles are definitely atrophying."

She continues, "This is really hard because what Nick has lost is muscle. His muscles are just atrophied. You can't really gain your muscle back until you can move, so they have him on some high protein and high calorie food, but he's gotta move."

Kloots also shared a sweet photo of the couple's clasped hands during their first in-person reunion.

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.
