For fitness instructor Amanda Kloots, the current health crisis forced her to make an unimaginable decision: choosing to save her husband’s life by having his leg amputated and thereby changing it forever, both personally and professionally.
Nick, a Canadian actor and Broadway star who was performing in musical Rock of Ages before his hospitalisation, was diagnosed with COVID-19 after developing pneumonia in March. Complications forced him into an induced coma for over two weeks, and after developing blood clots, his right leg was amputated in a bid to save his life.
Amanda shared her husband’s harrowing experience with updates on Instagram, including a throwback video of their wedding dance in September 2017. “Part of our wedding dance that our friends choreographed for us. I love dancing with you @nickcordero1 and we WILL dance again!”
The couple are parents to 10-month old son, Elvis. Amanda has been updating fans that her husband’s condition is stable, and while their lives will be forever changed once Nick recovers, they’ll definitely be glad they still have each other.
