Amanda Kloots has been keeping Nick’s fans informed by sharing updates on his health on her Instagram. The Tony Award-nominated star has been battling coronavirus for more than two weeks. Saturday was day 18 of him being sedated in the intensive care unit.
While being hospitalized at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, his wife recently shared another update on Nick’s health: “They had him on blood thinners for the clotting, unfortunately, the blood thinners were causing other issues,” she said Saturday. “The right leg will be amputated today.”
She added,
“he made it through the surgery, which is really big because obviously, his body is pretty weak,” Kloots said. “Hopefully he’ll just kind of relax and rest.”
The couple’s good friends have started a GoFundMe campaign to help them pay for hospital bills and make their home wheel-chair accessible, Kloots said.
