Pope Francis Gets Good News From Doctors

The 88-year-old is no longer in imminent danger of death as a result of the double pneumonia.

Pope Francis got some good news from his doctor Monday.

The 88-year-old is no longer in imminent danger of death as a result of the double pneumonia that has kept him hospitalized for nearly a month in the greatest threat to his 12-years as pope.

He isn’t completely out of the woods yet but doctors say he remains stable and has consolidated improvements in recent days, according to blood tests and his good response to treatment.

However, Francis, who has chronic lung disease, is still using supplemental oxygen during the day and a ventilation mask at night to help him breathe.

Doctors are still cautious and have decided to keep him hospitalized for several more days to receive treatment and he will need to go through a period of rehabilitation.
