Fears have been growing about the pontiff’s condition after he was admitted to the hospital on Feb. 14, later experiencing breathing difficulties and being diagnosed with “double pneumonia.”

Pope Francis was conscious, eating and in “good spirit,” a Vatican source said Monday, as worries persisted around the pontiff’s kidney and lung problems that have left him in the hospital for over a week.

Francis was eating normally, the source said. Though Rome’s Gemelli Hospital said via Telegram on Monday morning that the night had “passed peacefully,” doctors gave no further update as to whether the pope’s health has improved.
