Pope Francis has slightly improved the state of health, is vigilant, and rose out of bed to eat breakfast Thursday, the Vatican said, as the pope spent his seventh day at the hospital fighting pneumonia.
The 88-year-old is being treated at Rome's Gemeli Hospital, where he was admitted on February 14th, after having trouble breathing for several days.
Vatican spokesman Matteo Bruni said in a brief update that the pope had slept well and had eaten breakfast while sitting on a couch.
The pope's situation was stable and he had shown “slight improvement” in results from the latest blood tests, the Vatican said in the latest statement.
Pope Francisescu suffers from double pneumonia, a serious infection that can inflammation and damage both lungs and make breathing more difficult, Reuters writes.
Two Catholic cardinals expressed hope for the Pope's recovery.
I think there's a sense of hope and he'll pass it, thank God,” said Spanish cardinal Juan Jose Omella. Italian Archbishop Giuseppe Satiano called the Pope a <x2-combater” and said: “He will win this battle”.
