88-year-old undergoes CAT scan to check his lung infection. Pope Francis remains in a critical condition in his fight against double pneumonia, the Vatican said on Tuesday evening – but he has not had any further respiratory episodes. The 88-year-old pontiff was spending his 12th night at Rome's Gemelli hospital, the longest hospital stay of his nearly 12-year papacy.
He underwent a follow-up CAT scan to check his lung infection, according to a Holy See update, but no details were given on what was found. Doctors said the prognosis remained cautious. “In the morning, after receiving the Eucharist, he resumed work activities,” the Vatican statement said.
