Pope Francis: Stable state of health after four weeks in hospital!

After more than four weeks in the hospital, Pope Francis remains in a stable but cautious situation. The 88-year-old, who has been being treated for complicated bilateral pneumonia in Rome's Gemelli Clinic since February 14, is showing progress in his health. According to a statement from the Vatican, he has experienced significant improvements in the last week and oxygen therapy is being intensified during the day, reducing the need for non-invasive oxygen administration at night, such as kathpress.at reported. Despite these positive developments, a dismissal of the Pope is currently not in sight.

Peaceful nights and therapeutic progress

The Vatican reported that Francis spent a quiet night on the 28th night of his hospital stay. Doctors emphasize that he is on the road to slight improvement, although progress is slow. On March 13, the Pope celebrated the twelfth anniversary of his election to the pontifical throne in his hospital room. He received a cake from the doctors for his anniversary. Such details are intended to give believers hope, even if concern for his health remains high among followers t-online.de stated.

Although the pope remains physically hospitalized, he continues his spiritual work, blessing more than 30 bishop appointments in recent weeks and approving a new timetable for implementing church reforms. This all happens from the tenth floor of the clinic, where he continues to actively plan the challenges facing the Catholic Church. Evening prayers for his health in St. Peter's Square also continue, with Archbishop Emilio Nappa leading last Saturday's service, while further well-wishes from celebrities, including Neymar, reach the Pope.
