'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.

Broadway star Nick Cordero has been hospitalized since late March and on a ventilator because of complications from COVID-19. 'CBS This Morning' co-host Gayle King spoke with Cordero's wife Amanda Kloots for her first in-depth interview about her husband, airing Thursday morning on CBS.

'We had a bit of a rough day [Monday]. Nick ended up getting an infection in his lungs that went into his blood, so he went into a little bit of a septic shock. The cause of that was some infection in his lungs. They went in and cleaned out his lungs and gave him some blood pressure medication,' she says. 'This kinda came out of nowhere after two days of really great progress.' Doctors intend to keep Nick on antibiotics for the next seven days. 

His wife, fellow Broadway veteran Amanda Kloots, shared today on Instagram that doctors were unable to remove Nick's ventilator today as planned. 'Earlier this morning he got a fever, which caused his blood pressure to drop slightly. So he is back on a little bit of blood pressure medication,' she says. 'They are going to set aside the ventilator removal until they get [the fever] under control.'

As Nick Cordero fights complications due to coronavirus, his Rock of Ages Hollywood co-stars and family came together to give him a special message. Jonathan Quesenberry, Music Director, shared the video on his Facebook page and it can be viewed below!

Amanda shared an update today on Instagram, noting that Nick is 'recovering well and doing really well with the pacemaker. His heart rate has been under control.'

UPDATE: 'It looks like he had some irregular heart beating last night that scared [the doctors] enough to want to do a temporary pacemaker in Nick's heart. His heart is functioning well, but he has had these dips in his heart rate for a little while now.'
