Nick Cordero and his coronavirus complication
Canadian actor Nick Cordero, 43 was in the hospital for the past 2 weeks. He tested positive for coronavirus and his condition grew severe. His wife Amanda Kloots has been sharing updates on his condition regularly with his fans on her Instagram.
Nick was sedated in the intensive care setup and on Saturday 18 April 2020, it was day 18 of his hospitalization. And he began getting some issues with his blood clotting mechanism. The blood flow to his right toe diminished.
She wrote at that time:
“We don’t know what the damage will be. We don’t know if he’ll be able to walk again.”
Doctors put him on blood thinners. But these were causing problems in his intestines and lowering his blood pressure. His intestines began to bleed.
Therefore doctors stopped the blood thinners and reached the difficult decision to amputate his right leg which was getting gangrenous.

“They had him on blood thinners for the clotting, unfortunately the blood thinners were causing other issues. The right leg will be amputated today.”
Later, Amanda implored their fans to post videos of them dancing and requesting Nick to wake up. She put the hashtag #wakeupnick for it.

“He made it through the surgery, which is really big because obviously his body is pretty weak. Hopefully he’ll just kind of relax and rest.”
Amanda also disclosed that their friends started a GoFundMe campaign to assist in hospital bill payments and also to help make their home wheelchair accessible.
She thanked them:
“I’m really blown away guys … I wanna thank anyone that has given anything that they can. It’s just overwhelming, I really thank you so much.”
