Former New York City<\/a> Mayor Rudy Giuliani is breathing on his own after being taken off a ventilator, his doctor said, adding he has “9 lives” following a dramatic turnaround from a dire condition.<\/p>\n

Dr. Maria Ryan told Fox News correspondent Danamarie McNicholl that Giuliani began feeling ill after returning from a trip to Paris, with his breathing deteriorating to the point that he required hospitalization and was placed on a ventilator.<\/p>\n

Ryan said his condition turned critical, prompting a priest to be called to his bedside to perform last rites.<\/p>\n

By Tuesday, however, his condition had improved enough for doctors to remove him from the ventilator. He is now breathing independently and able to speak, though he remains in critical but stable condition<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“He\u2019s a fighter \u2014 the way he was yesterday in such a critical condition, he did have a priest come anoint him,” Ryan told Fox News. “And all the prayers from around \u2014 it\u2019s like a miracle. This guy\u2019s got 9 lives, today he\u2019s doing much better.”<\/p>\n

Ryan said she expects Giuliani to make a full recovery.<\/p>\n

A spokesperson for Giuliani also pointed to his health history following the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, when he was exposed to debris while responding at Ground Zero<\/a>, later leading to a diagnosis of restrictive airway disease.<\/p>\n

In a video shared on X, Ted Goodman said Giuliani is now “breathing on his own” and remains in “critical but stable condition.”<\/p>\n

“Mayor Rudy Giuliani is the ultimate fighter,” Goodman said.<\/p>\n

The update comes after Giuliani was hospitalized with severe breathing issues, prompting concern about his condition<\/a>. His team had previously said he was in critical but stable condition.<\/p>\n

Giuliani, 81, has faced a number of health challenges in recent years but has remained active in public life.<\/p>\n

He previously made headlines after being seriously injured in a car crash in New Hampshire<\/a> in August 2025. Authorities said the vehicle he was riding in was struck from behind on Interstate 93 in Manchester, leaving him with a fractured thoracic vertebrae, multiple lacerations and other injuries.<\/p>\n

Despite those setbacks, Giuliani returned to work and continued to appear publicly in the months that followed.<\/p>\n

Ryan said the latest improvement marks a turning point in his recovery, though doctors will continue to monitor his condition closely in the coming days.<\/p>\n
