Pope Francis Shows ‘Some’ Improvement Amid Hospitalization for Bronchitis

Pope Francis is showing improvement in his lab tests despite remaining hospitalized with a respiratory tract infection, the Vatican said on Saturday. The pontiff has no fever after a restful night’s sleep and is receiving modified treatment based on new “microbiological findings.”

He will not lead the Angelus prayer tomorrow but plans to send the text for its publication. Pope Francis was admitted to hospital on Friday for necessary tests and ongoing bronchitis treatment. Medical tests are expected to continue over the weekend.

The Vatican has received many messages of support, and Pope Francis expresses his gratitude and asks for continued prayers. The pope’s condition remains reassuring, with his fever decreasing since admission.
