, during which she opened up to co-host Gayle King about her husband's experience with COVID-19, the illness caused by the novel coronavirus.
Though they were relieved, Kloots said that Cordero "just kept getting worse." At the advice of a doctor friend, they sought a second opinion at Los Angeles' Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. That's when Kloots began to worry, she said. She didn't hear from Cordero until the next day, when he told her that doctors wanted to put him on a ventilator. "In the meantime, [doctors] said, 'We want to start some of the COVID medicines.' And they did the deep COVID chest scrape and it came back positive," said Kloots. "He started to get better and we had plans to take him off the ventilator.
"He's a dancer, he's an actor, he's a performer. It was not an easy decision to make," Kloots said of the amputation.
