‘Slight improvement’ in Pope’s condition
By Vatican News
On Sunday evening, the Holy See Press Office provided the following update on Pope Francis’ health:
The Holy Father’s clinical condition, despite its severity, has shown a slight improvement.
No episodes of asthma-like respiratory distress occurred today, and some laboratory tests have shown improvement. The monitoring of his mild kidney insufficiency has not raised any concerns. Oxygen therapy continues, although with slightly reduced flow and oxygen levels.
Given the complexity of the clinical picture, the doctors are prudently maintaining their cautious prognosis.
Vatican: Pope Francis has restful night at Gemelli
Pope Francis spends a peaceful night at Rome’s Gemelli Hospital, the Holy See Press Office tells journalists Monday morning.
”The night went well, the Pope has slept and is resting,” the Vatican says in its latest update on the pontiff’s condition.
Prayers for the pope’s recovery continue across Rome, where Cardinal Baldassare Reina celebrated Mass Sunday at the Basilica of St. John Lateran for the Holy Father’s recovery.
Pope Francis also received dozens of get-well cards and hand-drawn greetings from schoolchildren in Rome on Sunday.
