Pope Francis Rest good after overcoming a setback in his recovery caused by a breathing crisis, because he continues to recover from double pneumonia in the hospital.
“The pope rested well all night,” said the Vatican on Monday morning.
Francis, 88, is in a stable state, is outside the mechanical ventilation and he does not show an indication of new infection after an airway crisis that took place last week.
The Pontiff was admitted to the Gemelli hospital of Rome on February 14 after a week-long bronchitis deteriorated. For the first time, doctors put the complex viral, bacterial and fungal practice infection and then the start of pneumonia in both lungs.

Doctors said the pope spent all day on Sunday without using the non -invasive mechanical ventilation mask that pumps oxygen into his lungs that he used on Friday after a breathing crisis. Francis continued to receive additional oxygen with a high current through a nose tube.
The respiratory crisis on Friday led to concern about a new lung infection since Francis inhaled what vomit. Doctors drafted and said they needed 24 to 48 hours to determine if there was a new infection.
On Sunday, the doctors said that Francis remained stable, had no fever and did not show any signs of an infection, suggesting that he had overcome the breathing crisis.

But the prognosis of the pope kept guarding, which means he was not in danger.
Francis again missed his weekly afternoon blessing. Instead, the Vatican distributed a message that the pope wrote, and thanked his doctors for their care and benefactors for their prayers.
In his message he also prayed for peace in Ukraine and elsewhere.
“From here war seems even more absurd,” said Francis.
Francis said he was His hospitalization life As an experience of deep solidarity with people who are sick and suffer all over the world.

“In my heart I feel the ‘blessing’ that is hidden in vulnerability, because it is exactly at these moments that we learn even more to trust the Lord,” Francis said in the text. “At the same time I thank God for giving me the chance to share the condition of so many sick and suffering people in body and mind.”
Cardinal Konrad Krajewski was the evening chairman Rosary In the St. Peter’s Square on Sunday evening in the Vatican.
“Let us pray with the entire church for the health of Saint Father Francis,” said Krajewski.
