Pope Francis: Stable health, recovery remains fragile!

Gemelli-Klinik, Rom, Italien - Pope Francis' health has stabilized, even if the Situation remains serious. The Vatican announced this on Sunday evening. The Pope, which has been in the Roman Gemelli Clinic since February 14, was not mechanically ventilated, but only received oxygen therapy. This means that it is free of fever and despite the complexity of his illness, which includes bronchitis and therefore an onset of pneumonia, no more acute breathing problems occurred. Little became known about his conversations with important representatives of the Vatican, but he received the Cardinal State Secretary Pietro Parolin and Archbishop Edgar Pena Parra.

Current treatment measures

On Tuesday evening, the Vatican press office confirmed that Francis underwent a CT scan to monitor its bilateral pneumonia. The monitoring has previously shown stable hemodynamic parameters, and the Pope received communion and did some work. This was also interpreted as a sign of his slight improvement, but the forecast remains careful. Clear all -clear are not yet in sight, and despite its stable constitution, no direct conclusions can be drawn about his complete recovery. In contrast, the Catholic Community organizes prayers for its health worldwide, in Rome there are rosary prayers on St. Peter's Square every day to pray for its well -being, so Vatican News .
