Pope Francis is starting his 29th straight day in the hospital, a day after he marked the 12th anniversary of his elected pope following five ballots in a papal conclave.

A chest X-ray confirmed improvements, the Vatican said on Wednesday, just two days after days after doctors declared he’s no longer in imminent danger of death.

Pope Francis, battling double pneumonia in hospital for almost a month, remains stable and a recent X-ray confirmed improvements in his condition that had been seen in previous days, the Vatican said on Wednesday.
