Pope Francis makes surprise stop at favourite icon of the Madonna at St. Mary Major basilica.

Doctors say he needs two months of rest and convalescence, during which he should refrain from meeting with big groups of people or exerting himself.

The 88-year-old pope was admitted to Gemelli hospital on Feb. 14 after a bout of bronchitis worsened.

Not all patients who develop such a severe case of double pneumonia survive, medical chief says.

Pope 's life was at risk twice, during the two acute respiratory crises, he says.

Vatican spokesman declines to confirm any upcoming events, including a scheduled audience on April 8 or Francis ’ participation in Easter services at the end of the month .
