Pope Francis has been removed from mechanical ventilation and is showing signs of stabilization following two respiratory crises on Monday, according to sources cited by Fox News. Despite this positive development, the 88-year-old pontiff remains in a guarded condition and is not completely out of danger. Admitted to Rome’s Gemelli Hospital on February 14 with a complex respiratory infection complicated by pneumonia in both lungs, the Pope’s situation worsened with two acute respiratory events on Monday, leading to his return to non-invasive mechanical ventilation. Sources indicate it’s too early to say whether Pope Francis has a Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) order. Expressing gratitude for the prayers sent by faithful followers worldwide, the Pope mentioned feeling the support and affection from God’s people during this challenging time. Contributions to this report came from Fox News journalists Melissa Chrise, Courtney Walsh, and Landon Mion.
