Nick Cordero Will 'Most Likely' Need Double Lung Transplant

Nick Cordero‘s wife Amanda Kloots went on CBS This Morning to give an update on his health, and revealed he may need a double lung transplant.

“That is most likely the possibility,” Amanda said of the transplant. “A 99 percent chance that he would be needing that in order to live the kind of life that I know my husband would want to live.”

She added that “that is a long road away and a lot of things would have to line up in order for Nick to be a candidate.”

“They told me four times that he won’t survive. Sometimes even he won’t survive through the night, but he has,” Amanda added. “He’s fighting. I see it every day. Nick‘s doctor sees it. And as long as he’s in there and fighting, I’ll continue to fight with him.”

“He is doing okay. He’s stable,” she added. “He can still open his eyes, and when he is alert and awake, he’ll answer commands by looking up or down, yes or no questions. When I’m asking him, he will even try to smile or move his jaw. The nurses have all said that he answers my questions the best.”
