00:00Welcome back here on live now from Fox the time is 1035 on the west coast and
00:06135 on the east coast
00:07Thank you so much for being with us here on live now
00:10And I do want to take you out to some breaking news that we are following on Pope Francis
00:15Take a look as we do have this live image coming in out of Gemelli Hospital there over in Rome
00:21We've learned that the Pope will be released from the hospital tomorrow after 38 days
00:27Battling a life-threatening case of pneumonia in both lungs
00:30That is according to his doctors who held a brief news conference a short time ago
00:36Gemelli medical doctor. Dr. Sergio Alfieri said that Francis will require at least two months of rest and
00:44Rehabilitation as he continues to recover back at the Vatican
00:48Francis was admitted to Gemelli Hospital February 14th after about a bronchitis got worse
00:54And he later developed a life-threatening case of pneumonia
00:58Pope Francis's doctors provided their first in-person
01:01Update on his condition in a month in a sign that he has made some good and steady progress
01:06In his battle against double pneumonia the Saturday evening briefing is the first since back on February 21st a week
01:14After the 88 year old was brought to Gemelli Hospital
01:18He did eventually experience several respiratory crises that landed him in critical condition
01:24Though we are told that he has since stabilized and of course will be released tomorrow
01:29In another development the Vatican did announce that Francis would actually appear on Sunday morning to bless faithful
01:36From his 10th floor suite at the hospital in Rome while Francis released an audio message
01:41Marks March 6th and the Vatican's blessing will be the first live appearance since he was hospitalized
01:48It looks like we did lose that feed
01:50But I do want to pop up the post from the Vatican a bit earlier on today as they said Pope Francis does attend
01:57Intend to appear at his window tomorrow at Rome's Gemelli Hospital
02:01Shortly after 12 noon for a greeting and to impart his blessing
02:06The text of the Pope's reflection will be distributed as it is on previous Sundays
02:11And this will be his first appearance since being hospitalized back on February 14th
