Pope Francis is in "stable conditions" and shows improvement according to the recent X-ray, reported the Vatican Press Office. At 88 years old, the Holy Pontiff remains stable, although his situation is complex. It has been confirmed that he has shown progress in recent days, especially in his chest X-ray, which reflects improvements compared to previous days.
The medical report also highlights that the Pope continues to receive high-flow oxygen therapy during the day and non-invasive mechanical ventilation at night. Despite his health condition, Francis carried out his usual activities, such as receiving the Eucharist, engaging in prayer, and doing motor physiotherapy in the morning. In the afternoon, he participated in the Spiritual Exercises via videoconference.
At the Agostino Gemelli Polyclinic in Rome, where he has been hospitalized since February 14 due to bilateral pneumonia and bronchitis, he continued with his routines of prayer, rest, and respiratory physiotherapy. The possible visit of Jorge Bergoglio to the city of Nicea in May is being evaluated, as clarified by the Vatican Press Office, stating that a new medical bulletin will not be published tomorrow, although some updates on the Pope's health might be provided.
The morning report indicated that the Pope had a quiet night and it was decided not to publish the catechesis for the Wednesday General Audience, as this week the Spiritual Exercises of the Roman Curia are taking place, which implies the suspension of public acts of the Roman Pontiff during this period.
