Pope Francis Has Restful Night Amid Ongoing Health Issues

Pope Francis had a quiet night and is resting, according to the Holy See Press Office. The 85-year-old pontiff sat in his armchair after waking up, continuing his oxygen therapy. His medical update may include results from Tuesday’s pulmonary CT scan.

The Pope’s clinical condition remains critical but stable, with no acute respiratory episodes reported. He has been undergoing treatment for double pneumonia and mild renal insufficiency since being admitted to the Agostino Gemelli Hospital on February 14th. The hospital’s twice-daily statements have kept the faithful informed about his health status.

On Tuesday evening, a CT scan was conducted to monitor bilateral pneumonia, with a guarded prognosis reported. Despite this, Pope Francis resumed work activities after receiving the Eucharist in the morning. His treatment is ongoing, with the faithful continuing to follow updates through the Holy See Press Office’s statements.
