Pope Francis is showing signs of improvement in his battle against double pneumonia, dispelling rumors of imminent death, resignation, or conclave. The 88-year-old pontiff spent another restful night at Rome's Gemelli hospital and was reported to be resting well on Thursday morning.
Medical professionals noted slight enhancements in his clinical condition, with kidney insufficiency subsiding, blood tests showing improvement, and a chest CT scan indicating normal progress in treating his complex lung infection. Despite the positive developments, the prognosis remains cautious as Pope Francis continues to receive supplemental oxygen and respiratory therapy to aid his lungs in expelling fluid.
