Pope Francis spent a restful night at the hospital in Rome, one day after suffering a sudden respiratory episode and was placed on a breathing machine, the Vatican said Saturday morning.
The Vatican on Tuesday called the health condition of Pope Francis "guarded" and "complex" as he remained in a stable condition with double pneumonia, according to officials.
Pope Francis is continuing to improve, according to the Vatican, which said he spent Thursday alternating between high-flow oxygen therapy and a Ventimask.
Pope Francis "had a tranquil night and woke shortly after 8 a.m.," the Vatican said, coming a day after he made his first public comments since being hospitalized.
