Amanda, a fitness instructor, shared another progress report to her Instagram Stories and revealed Nick had ended up getting an infection in his lungs.

She revealed that it had spread to his blood, causing him to go into "a little bit of a septic shock" after developing a fever.

However, Amanda reassured their fans that the Broadway star is getting better after doctors cleaned out his lungs and gave him strong antibiotics to help fight the infection.

On Saturday, she revealed Nick tested negative for Covid-19 but will need an operation to fit a pacemaker to stop his heart rate dropping.

The 41-year-old actor had his leg amputated after suffering blood flow issues caused by complications from the killer virus.

The mother-of-one posted an update to fans revealing she had both good and bad news about her husband’s recovery.

Holding their 10-month-old son, Elvis, she said in the update: “Good news, Dada had two negative Covid tests! Yay!

“Which means we think the virus is out of his system and now we're just dealing with recovery and getting his body back from all the repercussions of the virus.”

However, in a second video posted to her account, Amanda revealed she’d got some more news from the medical staff.

Looking tearful in the selfie video, the fitness instructor explained that doctors have told her Nick needs a pacemaker.

She said: “It looks like he had some irregular heart beating last night that scared them enough to want to place a pacemaker in Nick's heart.

“His heart is functioning well but he has had dips in his heart rate for a little while now and this one last night apparently was enough that it requires them to do this procedure to put a temporary pacemaker in his heart, so that any time they move him or need to do some procedures in the future, they don't have to worry about his heart rate dropping again.”

Amanda also revealed that Nick's doctors were considering slowly taking him off the ventilator.

They'll instead insert a breathing tube "to help him be more comfortable."
