According to the report, Pope Francis, hospitalized in critical condition with pneumonia in both lungs, was showing a "slight improvement", the Vatican said Monday, while cautioning that doctors would not offer a prognosis. Amid global concern over the 88-year-old's health, the Vatican said in its evening bulletin that "the critical clinical conditions of the Holy Father demonstrate a slight improvement."
The report said that Pope Francis was admitted to Rome's Gemelli hospital on February 14 with breathing difficulties, but his condition worsened, with his bronchitis developing into double pneumonia. Oxygen that has been administered in recent days was given Monday "with slightly reduced flows and percentage of oxygen," the Vatican said. It cautioned, however, that "considering the complexity of the clinical picture" doctors declined to "decide on the prognosis".
The report also stated that Francis's medical team have said the drug treatments he is undergoing will take time to show an effect, and on Friday they warned he would remain in hospital for this entire week, at the very least ."Today there were no episodes of asthmatic respiratory attacks; some laboratory tests have improved," it said, noting that Francis had worked in the afternoon after receiving the Eucharist in the morning.
The report added that on Monday evening, a few hundred faithful joined dozens of cardinals assembled in St Peter's Square to recite the rosary. The prayer for Francis -- leader of the Catholic Church since 2013 -- was led by the Vatican's secretary of state, Cardinal Pietro Parolin. The Vatican has been issuing twice-daily updates on the pope, and earlier Monday said he spent a peaceful night. A Vatican source added that the Jesuit was "not in pain", was eating "normally" and was even "in a good mood".
In addition to the report, in the evening he called the priest in the Gaza parish, the Vatican said. The longest hospitalization of Francis's near 12-year papacy has brought an outpouring of support for the pontiff, with prayers said around the world and tributes left outside the hospital.
US President Donald Trump, meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron at the White House, said, "It's a very serious situation but we do want him to get well if that's possible." The Vatican warned for the first time Saturday that the pope's condition was critical and that he had suffered a "prolonged asthmatic respiratory crisis", a day after his doctors said he was not out of danger.
