Coronavirus-stricken Broadway actor Nick Cordero has holes in his lungs, according to his wife's Instagram story.

Amanda Kloots announced on the social media platform, "Yesterday was a very hard day. He started off with low blood count. Luckily, Nick's CT scans came back clear of internal bleeding as of now, so that was a huge blessing."

"However, we did learn that due to COVID, Nick's lungs are severely damaged to look almost like he's been a smoker for 50 years, they said, they're that damaged," she added. "There are holes in his lungs where obviously you don't want holes to be." 

In early April, the Tony-winning actor had his leg amputated has been in an induced coma in intensive care. 

Kloots said Cordero's lungs resembled a person who smoked for decades.

"So, I'm not giving up hope," Kloots said on Instagram. "Miracles happen."
