According to multiple sources including Fox News, Giuliani's spokesperson Ted Goodman stated that the former mayor will spend some time recovering before leaving the hospital. His condition has improved markedly over the last 24 hours, allowing him to communicate with his children Caroline and Andrew after being taken off the ventilator.
A Catholic priest performed the last rites at Giuliani's bedside. As reported by Fox News, Giuliani's doctor, Maria Ryan, noted that his condition turned critical but has since improved enough for doctors to remove him from the ventilator. She expects Giuliani to make a full recovery.
Giuliani's health complications are exacerbated by restrictive airway disease linked to his exposure to toxic materials during the September 11, 2001 attacks. This condition adds significant risk to any respiratory illness. As reported by Fox News, Giuliani was previously diagnosed with this condition due to his proximity to Ground Zero on that day.
The former mayor's hospitalization has drawn widespread attention and support. President Trump took to Truth Social, praising Giuliani as 'a True Warrior' and 'the Best Mayor in the History of New York City.' He also criticized what he called the 'Radical Left Lunatics' for treating Giuliani poorly. This is not Giuliani's first health scare; he was previously hospitalized last year following a car crash in New Hampshire that left him with severe injuries, including a fractured vertebrae.
Giuliani has faced significant legal and financial challenges recently. According to Daily Mail, he was ordered to pay $148 million in damages to two Georgia election workers he defamed and filed for bankruptcy with debts of over $153 million. He also reached a confidential settlement with Dominion Voting Systems after they sued him for $1.3 billion over his false claims about the 2020 election.
