Pope Francis had another good night of rest in Rome's Gemelli hospital after being admitted last Friday with breathing problems due to bronchitis, the Vatican said on Thursday, having reported a slight improvement in his condition on Wednesday.
    Earlier this week, the Vatican said the Pope's complex clinical picture was complex and that he had developed double pneumonia, meaning he is set to stay in hospitalization longer than initially expected.
    "Pope Francis has had a restful night and this morning, got out of bed and had breakfast in an armchair," the Vatican Press Office said on Thursday morning On Wednesday evening, the Vatican had said that the 88-year-old Argentine pontiff's condition was stable, and that "the blood tests, evaluated by the medical staff, show a slight improvement, particularly in the inflammatory indices."
