Pope Francis remains in a critical but stable condition after spending eleven days in hospital. The Holy Father is fighting a complex respiratory infection and bilateral pneumonia, and doctors are either unable or unwilling to offer an overall prognosis.
The Vatican stated in a medical bulletin issued later in the day on 25 February that “the clinical conditions of the Holy Father remain critical, but stationary”.
“There have been no acute respiratory episodes, and his hemodynamic parameters continue to be stable,” the statement said. It noted that the Pope underwent a CAT scan to check the status of the pneumonia affecting both of his lungs; however, the results are not yet available.
