        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The wife of Broadway star <strong>Nick Cordero</strong> has revealed there are holes in his &#8220;severely damaged&#8221; lungs amid his <strong>ongoing battle with coronavirus</strong>.</p><p>Amanda Kloots &#8212; who has spent weeks rallying support for her husband &#8212; said Thursday that her husband has &#8220;been thrown every curve ball he could be thrown&#8221; as she detailed via a video on Instagram, &#8220;Yesterday was a very hard day. He started off with low blood count. Luckily, Nick&#8217;s CT scans came back clear of internal bleeding as of now, so that was a huge blessing.</p><p>&#8220;However, we did learn that due to COVID, Nick&#8217;s lungs are severely damaged to look almost like he&#8217;s been a smoker for 50 years, they said, they&#8217;re that damaged. There are holes in his lungs where obviously you don&#8217;t want holes to be.&#8221;</p><p>The fitness trainer and mom to their baby son, Elvis, said doctors discovered this when Cordero&#8217;s oxygen count went down and they cleaned out his lungs.</p><p>She said the plan now is to scan his lungs with ink and take cultures, so they can put him on the right medication.</p><p>Cordero has already <strong>had his leg amputated</strong> and his friends and family are waiting for him to regain consciousness.</p><p>Kloots added that her husband&#8217;s doctor is &#8220;absolutely wonderful,&#8221; saying, &#8220;He told me if Nick was in his 70s, we&#8217;d be having a different conversation. He&#8217;s 41, he&#8217;s been fighting really hard.</p><p>&#8220;He told me if it was his brother in there, he would not be giving up hope, so I&#8217;m not giving up hope. Obviously, it was super scary news to hear.&#8221;</p><p>She said they are desperate to get him healthy and stable so they can give him a tracheostomy and get him off his ventilator, but have to work out his lung issues first.</p>]]></content:encoded>
