ROME – Pope Francis is becoming less dependent on oxygen flow as he recovers from a complex respiratory infection and double pneumonia, with the Vatican saying he is being progressively weaned from both night and daytime uses.
The Vatican said in a March 18 statement that the pope’s condition “continues to remain stable in a complex framework”.
“There are slight improvements to his motor and respiratory situation,” the Vatican said, saying the pope has also decreased the amount of time he is using non-invasive mechanical ventilation at night.
