‘And now, he was finally healthy enough today to get the trach and the ventilator is out,’ she said. ‘His face is clear of all of those tubes.’

About Nick’ s coronavirus infection

Nick got ill on 29 March 2020. He was rushed to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. For the past month, he has been battling death. His one leg was amputated due to a blood clot obstructing his major leg artery.

Blood thinners did not help and in fact, led to the adverse effects of internal bleeding. He was still unconscious during this major surgery.

Two days back, Amanda, appeared on CBS This Morning and expressed her gratitude for the wide support she received. She said:

“I feel like there is an army of people behind him, behind us, and I just believe — I get chills saying it. I just believe that he will wake up.”
