Pope Francis, at 88 years old, has been hospitalized due to pneumonia and a respiratory crisis that has led to blood transfusions. Following a week of declining health since his admission on February 14, the Vatican reported that his condition is critical though he remains alert. Doctors are cautiously optimistic with slight improvements, but his prognosis remains guarded. The pope's infection is complex, caused by multiple microorganisms, and his health complications are serious enough to classify his condition as unstable, requiring continuous monitoring.
"The Holy Father remains alert and has spent the day in a chair, though he is more unwell than yesterday. At the moment, the prognosis remains guarded."
"The Pope is not out of danger. The Pope's condition remains critical."
"The Vatican has previously described the pope's infection as 'complex', saying it is being caused by two or more micro-organisms."
"Double pneumonia can inflame and scar both lungs, making it difficult to breathe."
