On the tenth day of his hospitalization, doctors have stated that Pope Francis remains in a critical condition due to a complex lung infection. There have been indications of early kidney insufficiency as well, which is reportedly under control. The Holy See has informed the public that the Pope had a peaceful night and was able to attend morning mass at the hospital. Despite these details, there has been no mention of sepsis. The medical team attending to the 88-year-old Pope are cautious given his age and existing lung condition, with high supplemental oxygen being administered. The Pope’s hospital stay now matches the longest of his papacy, a ten-day period he experienced in 2021 following colon surgery. Offering hopes and prayers for Pope Francis’ recovery have come from around the world. The current situation has also reignited discussions regarding potential outcomes should the Pope become unconscious or incapacitated.
