Pope Francis continued his
treatments and motor and respiratory physiotherapy at Rome's
Gemelli hospital on Wednesday morning and he also followed the
Vatican's Lenten spiritual exercises via television, the Vatican
press office said.
It said the 88-year-old Argentine pontiff, who was admitted to
the hospital on February 14 and is being treated for bilateral
pneumonia, did not have any visitors on Wednesday morning and
none are scheduled during the day.
The Vatican is set to release a new bulletin with an update on
his condition later on Wednesday.
Francis had another "restful night" in hospital, the Holy See
Press Office said in a statement early on Wednesday.
On Tuesday the Vatican said the Pope's clinical situation
"remains stable, while doctors confirm slight improvements,
within a picture that for them remains complex".
Doctors lifted their reservations about the 88-year-old
Argentine pontiff's prognosis Monday, saying his life was no
longer in danger but he still required hospital treatment.
