On Saturday morning, he suffered a prolonged asthmatic respiratory crisis while being treated for pneumonia and a complex lung infection. He also had blood transfusions to treat a low platelet count. He had a peaceful night and rested. The Vatican said he was still receiving supplemental oxygen on Sunday and more clinical tests were being conducted. (Photo: AP)
