Pope Francis has appeared in public for the first time since being hospitalized on February 14.
After greeting the faithful from the diary, the 88-year-old left the hospital a few minutes later, writes A2 CNN.
Doctors say he will need at least two months of rest at the Vatican. Over the past five weeks, he had “two very critical episodes” where “his life was in danger,” said Dr. Sergio Alfieri, one of the doctors treating the Pope.
The Vatican leader was never intubated and remained alert at all times, the doctor added. The pope has not fully recovered, but he no longer has pneumonia and is now in a stable condition, according to his doctors.
Dr. Alfieri said that patients with double pneumonia lose their voice a little and "especially in the elderly it will take time for the voice to return to normal." (A2 Televizion)
