Pope Francis has shown „a truly surprising improvement“ since returning to the Vatican to convalesce after surviving a life-threatening bout with double pneumonia, the doctor who coordinated the pontiff’s five-week hospitalization said Saturday. „I find him very lively“, Dr. Sergio Alfieri said, after visiting the pope on Wednesday, three days after his release from Rome’s Gemelli Hospital, per the AP. „I believe that he will return, if not to 100%, 90% of where he was before.“ He warned, however, that if the pope gets back to things too fast, „they will have to put on the brakes.“
Francis appeared frail and weak on a hospital balcony on Sunday.
