Following his diagnosis of pneumonia in both lungs, Pope Francis, a Catholic, reportedly slept well and ate breakfast on Wednesday morning, according to the Vatican.
Francis spent a calm fifth night in Gemelli Hospital in Rome, according to Vatican spokesman Matteo Bruni.
According to him, the Pope is still in a good mood and appreciates the prayers for his healing.
Bruni revealed this to Fox News, saying: “He woke up and had breakfast after having a peaceful night.”
The Vatican said on Tuesday that Francis, who suffered pneumonia in both lungs as a child, had had the upper lobe of his right lung removed.
According to the report, the Pope’s clinical state, chest X-ray, and laboratory results “continue to present a complex picture.”
According to the Vatican, the use of antibiotic cortisone therapy to treat the polymicrobial infection that developed on a picture of bronchiectasis and asthmatiform bronchitis complicates the therapeutic treatment.
“The Holy Father’s chest CT scan this afternoon revealed the onset of bilateral pneumonia, necessitating additional pharmacological treatment.”
After a week of worsening bronchitis, Francis was brought to the hospital on Friday in “fair” condition.
The hospital diagnosed him with a polymicrobial respiratory tract infection on Monday, meaning that his respiratory tract was colonized by a combination of bacteria, viruses, and potentially other organisms.
