• The 88-year-old Pope will remain in hospital for several more days for treatment and rehabilitation.
• While his condition is stable, doctors are cautious due to his age and chronic lung disease. He requires supplemental oxygen and uses a ventilation mask at night.
• Francis followed the Vatican's spiritual retreat via videoconference, a good sign of his improving health.
