Amanda Kloots reunited with her husband Nick Cordero on Friday after having to spend 79 days apart due to coronavirus safety guidelines.
And on Saturday, the 38-year-old fitness instructor took to Instagram to provide her fans, family, and friends with another update as Nick continues to fight for his life against COVID-19 complications.
‘It has been amazing being at the hospital with him, being by his side, and holding his hand. Nick is doing okay,’ said Kloots with a smile on her Instagram Story.

‘His blood pressure medication is either off or very limited, which is great news. White blood count is down, which is great news. I believe they were gonna do some CT scans today on his brain and see what his mental status [is doing],’ explained Amanda to her 337,000 followers.
Amanda said that her and Nick’s doctors ‘are hoping for a weekend of stability and just rest’ for the Broadway star.
‘Goals for next week would be to start weening him off of some antibiotics, weening him off steroids, and possibly trying to some dialysis trials.
‘So that is it. Fingers crossed. Thank you so much for your prayers,’ concluded Kloots.

On her Instagram Stories, Amanda shared a picture of a visitor’s pass for the hospital, excitedly telling followers: ‘Guess where I’m heading!!!’
She also posted a ‘Hallelujah’ GIF over her post, and another one of Cedars-Sinai which she captioned: ‘Everyday.’
Amanda has previously posted that she was unable to visit her husband in the ICU due to visitor restriction, but it seems that a special allowance was made.

Yesterday, Amanda revealed that Nick has lost 65lbs during his COVID-19 battle and can only answer questions with his eyes because he’s too ‘weak’ to move or speak.
‘He still can’t move and his muscles are definitely atrophying,’ Amanda said during an Instagram Live Q&A session on Wednesday.
‘What’s so heartbreaking is he’s so weak,’ said the former Broadway dancer in the candid chat.

‘He can’t speak unfortunately. He can’t really even move, you guys. That’s how weak he is,’ added Amanda.
‘He looks up, he looks down, he looks left and right. And he answers questions, yes and no questions. A yes is looking up and no looks down.’
She said she’s also spoken to Nick about his amputated leg, which was lost due to blood clots, but isn’t sure the Bullets Over Broadway star understands the appendage is gone.
‘I have told him about his leg, and I’ve told him about the amazing prosthetics that are available now, and I told him that he’s gonna be fine.’
But, she admitted, ‘It is hard when I’m talking to Nick to understand exactly what he’s understanding.’
Thoughts and prayers: Kloots wrote Wednesday on her Instagram story: ‘Prayers for Nick. Please pray that Nick’s blood pressure gets better’ (pictured in August, 2019 with their son Elvis)
She also disclosed that despite Nick’s improvements, the road to recovery will be a long one.
‘After Nick gets out of the hospital, ’cause he is getting out of this hospital, he would go to a rehab center and probably be at a rehab center for a year before even coming home,’ said Amanda.
The entrepreneur has been keeping a brave face for her 326,000 Instagram followers as Nick recovers from coronavirus complications.
The couple most recently faced another obstacle, as she revealed that he’s not a candidate for a lung transplant.
