Pope is registering slight improvements in treatment for pneumonia in both his lungs, the Vatican says.

Doctors are also trying to cut back on the amount of time he uses a noninvasive mechanical ventilation mask at night , to force his lungs to work more.

The 88-year-old pontiff is now able to spend some time during the day off high flows of oxygen and use just ordinary supplemental oxygen delivered by a nasal tube.

Vatican isn't yet providing any timetable on when Francis might be released from the Gemelli hospital.
