«The clinical conditions of the Holy Father, in their criticality, demonstrate a slight improvement».
This is stated in the medical bulletin released by the Holy See on Monday evening regarding the conditions of Pope Francis , hospitalized at the Gemelli Polyclinic in Rome since February 14 for bilateral pneumonia .
"Even today - continues the note from the Vatican Press Office - no episodes of asthmatic respiratory crises occurred and some laboratory tests improved . Monitoring of the mild renal insufficiency does not cause concern . Oxygen therapy continues - continues the bulletin - even if with slightly reduced flows and percentage of oxygen".
"The doctors, considering the complexity of the clinical picture, are prudently not releasing the prognosis yet ," it is explained. "In the morning - the note concludes - the Holy Father received the Eucharist, while in the afternoon he resumed his work activity ."
At 9 pm, a heartfelt moment of prayer was held in St. Peter's Square in Rome , with faithful coming from all over the world. An appointment was also held in Cagliari, in the Cathedral in the presence of Monsignor Giuseppe Baturi .
