The Vatican issued a statement this morning stating that “the night passed quietly” for Pope Francis who “is still resting” in hospital.
Francis, 88, has been at Rome’s Gemelli Hospital since Feb. 14, after he experienced a prolonged respiratory crisis. On 3 March, the Pope suffered two incidents of “acute” respiratory difficulty that required him to be put back on a ventilator, giving cause for alarm. By March 4, Pope Francis was reported to be stable but that he had to be on a non-invasive ventilator overnight.
