Amanda took to social media on Friday to give an update on her husband’s health and say that he had a tracheostomy procedure done to remove him from the ventilator.
She told her fans: “He is on the trach! They did it, and he’s OK, and he is free of the ventilator.”
“Thank God. We have been trying to do this for Nick for so many weeks now, and it just kept getting stalled and pushed back because of his health.”
“And now, he was finally healthy enough today to get the trach and the ventilator is out, his face is clear of all those tubes.”

She continued: “This is just amazing news guys, because we really needed this to happen, to get him off that ventilator.
“This is a lot more comfortable for Nick, I think he will be feeling, even subconsciously, feeling better, and I hope this is a great sign for some good recovery days ahead.
“And for him to be able to wake up and just have that pressure relieved from his throat.”

Amanda has been giving her and Nick’s fans daily updates on the Broadway star’s health.
Since testing positive for coronavirus, the 41-year-old father has been in intensive care in Cedars Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles.
Aside from being on the ventilator, Nick also had to have one of his legs amputated.
He also developed an infection in his lungs, which spread to his blood and caused him to go into septic shock.

As Amanda waits to see her husband, she’s been living in Zach Braff’s guest home with her and Nick’s 10-month-old baby.
He told The Hollywood Reporter: “One of my best friends in the world, Nick Cordero, and his wife and baby have been living in my guest house for seven months as they were house-shopping in L.A. to make the move out here.
“They fell in love with L.A. So, they went home to pack up their things and he got COVID-19 when they did that, and he has it worse than anyone I’ve heard of who hasn’t passed away.”
