Cardinal Raymond Burke Taken Off Ventilator, to Leave ICU| National Catholic Register

Cardinal Raymond Burke has been taken off a ventilator and will leave intensive care today to return to his hospital room, his family has announced. Father Paul Check, executive director of the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe in La Crosse, Wisconsin, confirmed the improvement in the cardinal’s condition in a short statement issued on Saturday.  The American cardinal, 73, was hospitalized earlier this month, suffering from COVID, and he was placed on a ventilator on Aug. 14, as his condition continued to worsen. Unconfirmed reports began to emerge yesterday suggesting his situation was improving. “Praised be Jesus Christ!” Father Check wrote. “The Cardinal’s family is pleased to announce that His Eminence has come off the ventilator and will leave the ICU today to return to his hospital room.”
