Pope Francis left Rome’s Gemelli Hospital and returned to the Vatican on Sunday, more than five weeks after he sought out treatment for bronchitis. The pope was still receiving supplemental oxygen through nasal tubes as he made his way home in the front passenger seat of a Fiat 500L, according to The Associated Press.

Pope Francis was released from Rome’s Gemelli Hospital, where he has been battling double pneumonia for the past five weeks, on Sunday, returning to the Vatican where he will continue his recovery.

Before leaving the hospital, the Pope gave a thumbs-up to the crowd after he was wheeled out onto the balcony.
