Doctors say Pope Francis is recovering well from yesterday’s hernia surgery. The Holy Father spent a quiet night managing to rest for a long time and this morning was in good condition. Vatican Spokesperson Matteo Bruni confirmed that the Pope was able to get a lot of rest. The first routine check ups after the operation were positive. While the Vatican communicated that the operation had been planned for days before, it was still not an easy surgery considering Pope Francis’ general health issues and his age. He is expected to stay at the hospital for the next 9 days to get rest. Bruni asked everyone to keep Pope Francis in their prayers.
