Pope Francis taking a rest on the 10th day in the hospital due to a lung infection causing early kidney issues

Pope Francis, 88, was resting Monday morning, his 10th day at Rome’s Gemelli Hospital for a complex lung infection that led to the early stages of kidney insufficiency, according to the Vatican.

“The night passed well, the pope slept and is resting,” the Vatican said in a statement.

It is unclear if he was awake and eating breakfast.

Francis was admitted to the hospital on Feb. 14 after a weeklong bout of bronchitis worsened. Doctors first diagnosed the complex viral, bacterial and fungal respiratory tract infection and subsequently the onset of pneumonia in both lungs.

“As our Holy Father Pope Francis is in very, very fragile health, and probably close to death,” Dolan said in his homily from the pulpit of St. Patrick’s Cathedral.

Dolan later told reporters he hoped and prayed that Francis would “bounce back.”
