Pope Francis has shown a truly surprising improvement’’ since returning to the Vatican to convalesce.

Dr. Sergio Alfieri said the pope’s voice was regaining strength, and that his reliance on supplemental oxygen has decreased.

The 88-year-old pope was hospitalized on Feb. 14 after a long bout with bronchitis that left him breathless at times, and which quickly developed into double pneumonia.
