On Friday morning, Feb. 28, the Holy See Press Office reports that Pope Francis had a “calm” and restful fifteenth night at Rome’s Gemelli Hospital as his treatment for bilateral pneumonia continues.
“As in recent days, the night passed calmly, and the pope is now resting,” the Vatican statement notes, providing the faithful with a brief but positive update on the pontiff’s condition.
Further updates are expected later in the morning, Rome time.
According to Thursday evening’s press release, the 88-year-old pontiff’s clinical picture continues to improve, though his medical situation remains “complex” and his prognosis “guarded.”
Meanwhile, the 9 p.m. Rosary for Pope Francis in St. Peter’s Square continues for the fifth consecutive evening on this Friday, with Cardinal Víctor Manuel Fernández, Prefect of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, leading the prayers.
