Pope Francis' Hospital Stay Extended
Pope Francis will continue his hospitalization for at least another week, as confirmed by one of his doctors. Despite his condition showing some improvement, the Pope is not yet out of danger.
The medical team reported that Pope Francis is now able to sit up in a chair and do some work from there, without the need for any medical devices. His spirits seem high as he is reportedly making jokes again.
A week ago, Pope Francis was admitted to Gemelli Hospital in Rome with bronchitis, which later developed into a double pneumonia, raising concerns about his health. Pneumonia can be life-threatening for older individuals and other vulnerable groups.
