Nick Cordero is unconscious in intensive care with pneumonia with his family fearing he was ‘misdiagnosed’.
The 41-year-old former Waitress musical star was hospitalised last week with suspected pneumonia but his wife, Amanda Kloots, is fearing that he has coronavirus.
In an Instagram post on Tuesday, Amanda shared the news that Nick was “in the ICU and now unconscious” after doctors said that he had pneumonia.
Amanda has said that their family now fear that this is wrong and they are waiting to find out if Nick will test positive to Covid-19.
Sharing a black and white photo of Nick holding their nine-month-old son, Elvis Eduardo, she wrote: “My sweet husband needs your prayers please.

“Nick has been sick for awhile with what we were told last week was pneumonia. Unfortunately we think he was misdiagnosed and we are waiting to hear if this is in fact COVID.
“He is scared, in the ICU and now unconscious so his body can get enough oxygen. We are all trying to stay positive and strong knowing that he is in the best care.”
Amanda said that she is “not allowed there to visit” her husband, who she misses “terribly”.

She continued in her post: “Nick is scared too, this has gone from bad to worse.
“He isn’t allowed to eat or drink, he is very weak and having a hard time breathing.”
Amanda, who is a renowned fitness trainer, insisted that the rest of the family “are feeling completely fine.”
She added: “My hubby is fighting like a champ but this is serious. Please stay home everybody.
“Thank you to everyone who has been helping us so far you know who are and you are all angels.”
Amanda shared details of Nick’s hospitalisation on her Instagram story on Monday night, saying that he has been “sick for a while.”
She continued: “He’s struggling a lot but I’m keeping positive. We’re just hoping Nick pulls through this in this really hard time. It’s been really, really scary but I’m hopeful.”
