Pope Francis’ condition is improving, but he needs several days of “clinical stability” before doctors can reassess his prognosis, the Vatican said last night.
The 88-year-old pontiff has been hospitalized for two weeks.
Pope Francis, being treated for double pneumonia, has progressed to alternating a nasal tube with a mask for oxygen.
Despite his condition’s severity, there have been no new respiratory distress episodes, and some tests have shown improvement.
While the pope has resumed some work activities, doctors remain cautious due to the complexity of his condition.
The Vatican will continue providing updates on his treatment and recovery.
