The Pope has been in the hospital for ten days.
The health of Pope Francis is still critical, according to the latest report of the Vatican from Sunday evening. In the 88-year-old Pope, according to her, blood tests found “initial slight renal failure”, but unlike the previous day, he did not have respiratory seizures, TASR reports according to DPA and AFP.
František has been in the hospital for ten days and the Vatican press office has again refused to provide the forecast in the next regular report. She said, however, that the Pope is vigilant and continues to receive a high supply of oxygen.
“The state of the Holy Father remains critical, but he did not have other respiratory crises since yesterday,” the Holy See said.
Francis received two units of concentrated red blood cells and his thrombocytopenia, platelet loss, is still stable.
Other health problems
However, some blood tests have shown the initial mild renal failure that is currently under control, the statement is said.
“However, the complexity of the clinical picture and the need to wait for the feedback of pharmacological treatment means that the prognosis remains restrained.”
The Vatican also informed that Francis participated in the Holy Mass on Sunday morning in the Papal Apartment on the tenth floor of the Roman hospital Gemelli.
František was hospitalized on February 14 with bronchial inflammation, which subsequently developed into double pneumonia. On Saturday, the Vatican reported that the Pope had a longer asthmatic respiratory attack.
