Pope Francis is showing signs of significant recovery as the Vatican announced he no longer requires mechanical ventilation for breathing at night. The 88-year-old pontiff, who has been hospitalized for double pneumonia since February 14, is now breathing with only minimal oxygen support.

Pope Francis’ Condition Shows Steady Progress

The Vatican issued a statement on Wednesday confirming that Pope Francis’ health is improving. “The clinical conditions of the Holy Father are confirmed to be improving,” the statement read. The pope had been using non-invasive mechanical ventilation overnight, but that support has now been suspended. Instead, he is receiving oxygen through a small nasal tube, marking a major step forward in his recovery.

Doctors treating Francis at Rome’s Gemelli Hospital believe his infection is under control. He is reportedly stable, without fever, and his blood tests have returned to normal. While his recovery is slow, the Vatican has not provided a timeline for his discharge.

Challenges in Recovery

Given his age and medical history, Pope Francis’ recovery remains delicate. He had part of a lung removed in his youth due to pleurisy, making him prone to respiratory infections. In addition to respiratory physiotherapy, he is also undergoing physical therapy for mobility issues, as he has relied on a wheelchair in recent years due to knee and back pain.

Medical experts not involved in his care have suggested that his path to full recovery could be long and complex. However, Vatican sources indicate optimism, particularly with his ability to breathe without ventilation.

Public Absence and Global Support

Francis’ hospitalization marks his longest absence from public view since he became pope in 2013. On Sunday, the Vatican released the first image of him in the hospital, showing him praying in a chapel.

Supporters around the world have continued to send well-wishes. Italy’s postal service reported that the pope has been receiving an additional 150 kilograms (331 pounds) of mail per day from concerned individuals globally. To manage the influx, the hospital has arranged for a dedicated van to collect letters daily.

Upcoming Vatican Visit by King Charles

In a sign that the Vatican is hopeful about Pope Francis’ return to his duties, Britain’s King Charles and Queen Camilla are moving forward with plans to visit Italy and the Vatican in early April. They are scheduled to meet the pope on April 8, an appointment usually coordinated closely with senior Vatican officials.

As Pope Francis continues to recover, Catholics worldwide remain hopeful that he will soon return to leading public engagements. With Pope Francis breathing without ventilation, the focus now shifts to his gradual return to full strength. Will his health allow him to resume his demanding schedule, or will the Vatican introduce adjustments to ease his workload?
