“The pope spent a restful night, woke up, and had breakfast,” the Holy See Press Office said in a note to journalists Wednesday morning. It said the pope got out of bed and sat in an armchair.

In a Tuesday evening statement, the press office said the pope has double pneumonia but “remains in good spirits.”

“Laboratory tests, chest X-rays, and the clinical condition of the Holy Father continue to present a complex picture,” the statement said.

The Vatican said the pope’s “polymicrobial infection, which has arisen in the context of bronchiectasis and asthmatic bronchitis and has required the use of corticosteroid and antibiotics, makes the treatment more complex.”

A follow-up chest CT scan “revealed the onset of bilateral pneumonia, requiring additional pharmacological therapy,” the statement said. The Vatican medical team and staff of the A. Gemelli Polyclinic Foundation prescribed the scan.

“Nevertheless, Pope Francis remains in good spirits,” the press office added.

The statement noted that the pope “received the Eucharist and, throughout the day, alternated between rest, prayer and reading. He expresses his gratitude for the support he feels at this time and kindly asks that prayers for him continue.”
