Monday marks Pope Francis’ 10th day in the hospital, making this equal to the longest hospitalization of his papacy.
Pope Francis is in good spirits, eating normally and continuing to receive treatment, Vatican sources have said.
The update comes after the Pope was said to be in a critical condition and was showing an "initial, mild" kidney problem.
Many who know him said that Francis, driven by a sense of mission and a discipline born of his early training, essentially worked himself into the hospital.
A historic Vatican II altar that had been dismantled at the former St. Elizabeth of Hungary Church in Cleveland, is now restored and back in use for community gatherings.
What happens when a pope is incapacitated? Is he still pope? Pope Francis remains hospitalized in critical condition with a complex lung infection.
