Pope Francis, hospitalized at 88 for pneumonia in both lungs, is reportedly in good spirits and thankful for public prayer support. After a week of bronchitis, he was diagnosed with a polymicrobial respiratory infection and bilateral pneumonia. His condition highlights the seriousness of pneumonia, particularly when both lungs are affected, as they lack healthy tissue to aid in breathing. While his public activities are temporarily on hold, prayers from the faithful have surged, demonstrating widespread concern and support for his health.
"Double pneumonia shows a more serious infection and can develop in part or all of one lung or in both lungs, which tends to be more serious when both lungs are affected."
"Francis, who had the upper lobe of his right lung removed as a young man, was in good spirits and grateful for the prayers for his recovery."
