May 7 (UPI) -- Rudy Giuliani has been moved from the intensive care unit but remains hospitalized, a spokesperson for the former New York City mayor said.
The 81-year-old was hospitalized in critical but stable condition on Sunday with pneumonia.
His spokesman, Ted Goodman, said Wednesday night that Giuliani was no longer in the ICU and "will spend some time recovering before leaving the hospital."
"The mayor and his family appreciate the outpouring of love and prayers sent his way," Goodman said in a social media statement.
Earlier this week, Goodman announced that Giuliani's condition was complicated by restrictive airway disease, a disease he said the mayor contracted by having run "toward the towers to help those in need" following the Sept. 11, 2001, attack, which occurred during his tenure leading New York City.
