London and Rome – The Pope rested peacefully during the night after his forecast was “raised” on Monday when his 26 consecutive days begins in the hospital, said the Vatican.
Vatican sources told ABC News that the prognosis of Francisco who rose means that he is no longer in imminent danger, but that the clinical image remains complex.
The 88 -year -old pontiff will continue “for additional days, pharmacological medical therapy in a hospital environment” due to the “complexity of the clinical image and the significant infectious image presented in hospitalization,” said the Vatican.
“The improvements recorded in the previous days have been further consolidated, as confirmed by both blood and clinical objectivity and the good response to pharmacological therapy. For these reasons, doctors decided to raise the prognosis,” said the Holy See, the Vatican press office, in a statement on Monday.

The Pope will return to non -invasive mechanical ventilation and continue with an antibiotic treatment, the sources of the Vatican said.
Francis’s doctors said there are positive signs of the pontiff’s recovery, but precaution is, according to the sources of the Vatican.
Francis was admitted to the Gemelli Hospital in Rome on February 14 and was diagnosed with bilateral pneumonia.
On Thursday it will mark the 12th anniversary of when Pope Francis was voted to succeed Pope Benedict XVI, who previously resigned.
