Pope Francis Remains In Critical Condition

Share

Pope Francis is resting, but remains "critical" with respiratory and kidney problems, more than a week after being admitted to hospital, the Vatican has said.

"The night went well, the Pope slept and is resting," a Monday morning statement said.

Vatican sources said the Pope was in good humour and eating normally - a slightly more upbeat message than they'd been giving over the weekend, following his sudden breathing difficulties on Saturday.

The Pope was admitted to Rome's Gemelli Hospital on 14 February after experiencing breathing difficulties for several days, where he was first treated for bronchitis before being diagnosed with pneumonia in both lungs.
