Pope Francis, in hospital with pneumonia, suffered a breathing \”crisis\” on Friday. The 88-year-old pontiff was given air and responded well, the Vatican said. The episode came just hours after a Vatican source said his condition was no longer critical. The pope was hospitalised on February 14 for breathing difficulties but his condition deteriorated into pneumonia in both lungs, sparking alarm. He is prone to bronchitis and suffers from hip and knee pain which has made him reliant on a wheelchair and a wheelchair. He had part of one of his lungs removed as a young man and has suffered increasing health problems in recent years. The hospital stay is the fourth of the Argentine’s nearly 12-year papacy and the longest of his papacy as head of the world’s nearly 1.4 billion Catholics. The Vatican has not yet modified the pope’s prognosis of \”reserved\”, however, which means doctors will not predict changes in his health. It will take the next 24 to 48 hours to see if this breathing trouble has worsened his condition or not.
