Pope Francis: slow improvement – ​​hope for recovery is growing!

Pope Francis' health appears to be shaky but improving. According to Vatican spokesman Matteo Bruni, there was a positive development on Tuesday evening: “The situation remains stable with slight improvements.” Still, there is no concrete timetable for the 88-year-old pope's discharge from Rome's Gemelli Hospital, where he has been being treated for a serious respiratory illness since February 14. Bruni answered questions from journalists and said the Pope would only be released if it was really safe. A celebration marking the 12th anniversary of his election is not considered important by him, and it remains unclear whether there will be any pictures or videos of him during his hospital stay, reported Kathpress.

However, last night was satisfactory for the Pope. He slept well, ate breakfast and began his daily therapies, according to a statement Monday morning. Despite the stable general condition, the forecast is cautious. A bronchospasm he suffered last week had no direct negative consequences, but the risk of a recurrence remains. The pope's return to the Vatican is being discussed by journalists and Vatican officials, particularly in light of the upcoming liturgical celebrations during Holy Week, which begins April 13. Cardinal Kurt Koch spoke during a rosary prayer for the pope, emphasizing the challenges that come with serious illness Vatican News.

Yesterday there was another rosary prayer for the Pope, which was moved to the basilica due to bad weather. At this prayer, led by Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost, believers offered their prayers for the pontiff's recovery. The situation remains tense, but there are also hopes that the pope's health could soon improve further.
