Papa Francis anaendelea kupata nafuu huku akiendelea kupambana na nimonia pande zote mbili, Vatican ilitangaza Ijumaa, lakini hatatoongoza ibada ya kila mwaka ya Kanisa inayofungua kipindi cha Kwaresima cha Wakristo wiki ijayo.
Francis, mwenye umri wa miaka 88, sasa amekaa hospitalini Gemelli mjini Roma kwa wiki mbili, tangu alipoingizwa hospitalini Februari 14 akiwa na maambukizi makali ya njia ya hewa ambayo yalisababisha matatizo mengine.
Vatican haijatangaza ni kwa muda gani Papa ataendelea kuwa hospitalini, lakini ilitangaza Ijumaa kwamba hatatoongoza ibada ya Jumatano ya Majivu tarehe 5 Machi, jambo linaloashiria kuwa kulazwa kwake huenda kukaendelea hadi wiki ijayo.
Ibada hiyo, inayozindua kipindi cha siku 40 kuelekea Jumapili ya Pasaka, imekabidhiwa kwa afisa mwandamizi wa Vatican.
Katika taarifa ya kitabibu ya Alhamisi, Vatican ilisema hali ya Papa "iliendelea kuimarika" lakini bado tathmini yake ya afya ilikuwa ya tahadhari kutokana na ugumu wa maambukizi yake.
Afisa mmoja wa Vatican, ambaye hakutaka kutajwa jina kwa kuwa hakuwa na mamlaka ya kuzungumzia afya ya Papa, alisema kuwa taarifa za hivi karibuni hazijataja tena kuwa hali yake ni "hatari".
"Labda tunaweza kusema amepita katika hatua mbaya zaidi," alisema afisa huyo.
Taarifa nyingine ya kitabibu kutoka Vatican inatarajiwa Ijumaa jioni.
Francis, ambaye amekuwa Papa tangu mwaka 2013 na mara nyingi huelezwa kama mtu anayejituma sana hadi kufikia uchovu, ameendelea kuongoza shughuli za Vatican akiwa hospitalini. Uteuzi wa wafanyakazi unaohitaji idhini yake umetangazwa kila siku.
Ijumaa, Vatican ilitoa barua ya Papa kwa washiriki wa mafunzo ya Kanisa mjini Roma, ambayo ilisainiwa na Francis pamoja na dokezo lililosema kuwa barua hiyo "imetumwa kutoka hospitali ya Gemelli".
Kardinali Michael Czerny, mkuu wa ofisi ya maendeleo ya Vatican, alisema katika mahojiano na gazeti la Italia La Stampa kwamba Francis anaendelea kupata nafuu, ingawa "polepole zaidi ya tunavyopenda".
Francis amekumbwa na matatizo kadhaa ya afya katika miaka miwili iliyopita. Ana uwezekano mkubwa wa kupata maambukizi ya mapafu kwa sababu alipata pleurisi akiwa kijana na sehemu ya pafu lake iliondolewa.
Nimonia ya pande zote mbili ni maambukizi makali ya mapafu yote mawili ambayo yanaweza kuyavimba na kuyaacha na makovu, hivyo kufanya iwe vigumu kupumua. Vatican ilisema Francis alipata "shambulio la muda mrefu la upumuaji kama wa pumu" Jumamosi, lakini halijarudiwa tena.

Pope Francis is showing improvement as he battles double pneumonia, the Vatican said on Friday, but he will not lead an annual Church service next week to open the Christian season of Lent.
Francis, 88, has now spent two weeks in Rome's Gemelli hospital, where he was admitted on February 14 with a severe respiratory infection that triggered other complications.
The Vatican has not said how long the pope will remain in hospital, but it announced on Friday that Francis would not lead the traditional Ash Wednesday service on March 5, signaling his hospitalisation may continue into next week.
The service, which starts the 40-day period leading up to Easter Sunday, was instead entrusted to a senior Vatican official.
In a medical update on Thursday, the Vatican said the pontiff's condition "continued to show improvement" but his prognosis remained guarded due to the complexity of his infection.
A Vatican official, who did not wish to be named because he was not authorised to discuss the pope's health, noted that Thursday's statement was the second consecutive one that did not describe the pope's condition as "critical".
"Maybe we can say he has passed the most critical phase," said the official.
The Vatican's next medical update was expected on Friday evening.
Francis, who has been pontiff since 2013 and is often described as working himself to exhaustion, has continued leading the Vatican from the hospital. Staff appointments requiring his approval are announced daily.
On Friday, the Vatican released a papal letter to participants in a Church training course in Rome, which was signed by Francis with a note to say it was sent "from Gemelli hospital".
Cardinal Michael Czerny, head of the Vatican's development office, said in an interview with Italy's La Stampa newspaper that Francis was getting better, albeit "slower than what we would like".
Francis has suffered several bouts of ill health over the past two years. He is prone to lung infections because he developed pleurisy as a young adult and had part of one lung removed.
Double pneumonia is a serious infection of both lungs that can inflame and scar them, making it difficult to breathe. The Vatican said Francis suffered a "prolonged asthma-like respiratory crisis" on Saturday, but there have been no repeats.
