Rudy Giuliani is breathing without mechanical assistance for the first time in days.
The former New York City mayor remains hospitalised in New York City following a serious battle with pneumonia. Medical teams recently removed him from a ventilator to test his lung capacity.
His health crisis has kept many closely watching the updates from his medical team.
Doctors continue to monitor Giuliani for any signs of respiratory relapse. The next few days will determine if he can be moved from intensive care to a standard hospital ward.
His medical team has not yet released a specific timeline for his discharge.
The road to recovery
Medical staff will watch his oxygen levels closely. They will also check for any new infections.
A successful transfer to a regular ward would be a major milestone. It would show his condition is improving steadily.
What happens next
The team at the hospital will decide on his next steps soon. They will weigh the risks of moving him against his current stability.
Giuliani’s family has not issued a public statement yet. They are likely waiting for doctors to give the all-clear.
Fans and political allies have been sending messages of support. They hope for a full and complete recovery.
