He looked sickly as he sat in a wheelchair but he made the appearance without the assistance of oxygen.<\/p>\n

Francis blessed the crowd, thanked them for coming to speak to him, and pointed out a woman who had brought yellow flowers to wish him well.<\/p>\n

Speaking briefly and weakly, he said: “Thank you, everyone… I see this woman with the yellow flowers. Brava!”<\/p>\n

He gave a weak sign of the cross before being wheeled back inside.<\/p>\n

Chants of “Viva il papa!” and “Papa Francesco” erupted from the crowd, which included patients who had been wheeled outside just to catch his brief appearance.<\/p>\n

The head of the Catholic Church had been staying on the 10th floor in the papal suite, but appeared on the fifth which was reportedly more suitable for a wheelchair.<\/p>\n

Soon after his appearance he left the hospital in the front seat of a white Fiat as he was driven through Rome back to the Vatican.<\/p>\n

Photos of the Pope inside the car showed that he was being supported with oxygen.<\/p>\n
