Pope Francis expected to released from Gemelli Hospital in Rome Sunday, doctors say
Vatican says Pope Francis is 'out of danger of death'
Fox News national correspondent Jeff Paul provides an update on the health of Pope Francis as his condition continues to improve.
Gemelli Hospital medical director Dr. Sergio Alfieri announced Saturday that Pope Francis is expected to be discharged on Sunday.
At a press conference, Alfieri said the Holy Father experienced "two very critical episodes" during his hospitalization when his life was in danger but has since shown a "slow but progressive" improvement due to "pharmacological therapy, the administration of high flow oxygen and assisted mechanical ventilation." The pope, however, was never intubated, Alfieri said.
