On the morning of this Tuesday on the health of Pope Francis, admitted to the Gemelli Hospital in Rome for 11 days, he simply points out that there is no news after Monday’s Bulletin: “The Pope has rested well all night ” A statement with more clinical details will arrive at seven in the afternoon, except unforeseen.
In its brevity, as usual in the first communication in the morning, it means that the slow recovery of Jorge Mario Bergoglio, 88, who S, is in “critical” conditions and on Saturday and on Saturday and a worrying relapse. The Pope suffered a prolonged respiratory crisis, symptoms of anemia and a mild initial renal failure. But all these complications seemed over Monday, when for the first time the medical part of the afternoon was openly positive. He pointed out a “slight improvement”, within his “critical” state and his reserved prognosis. He pointed out several notable advances: no asthmatic respiratory crisis had not registered again, some laboratory tests had improved and renal failure “does not cause concern,” said the statement.
In addition, the note indicated that “oxygen therapy continues, but with a slightly reduced flow and percentage of oxygen.” He also stressed that the Pope had resumed the work, another symptom back to normal, and had made a phone call, like other days, to the Catholic parish of Gaza, where several hundred Christian Palestinians take refuge, to show them their support . This part reinforced the optimism that had already begun in the morning, when the Vatican commented that the Pope “is in a good mood, has no pain and follows therapy”, after having spent a good night.
The general picture is that antibiotic and drug therapy against pneumonia seems to be worked, but they are still possible relapses and Francisco needs time to go out of danger. “He is like an 88 -year -old man with a polymicrobial infection: viruses, fungi and bacteria,” they said that the pontiff has no other pathology and his heart “is perfect.”
The Pope, who as soon as the cold arrives, was admitted on February 14 after dragging for at least ten days a bronchitis that did not finish healing. Also due, in part, to his insistence on continuing to maintain his usual work rhythm. He himself told at a public hearing suffering from bronchitis; It was hard for him to breathe and twice delegated the reading of his speech. On Sunday, February 9, he presided over the free air in the Plaza de San Pedro, despite the intense cold. Finally, on February 14, after maintaining the scheduled audiences and since it was more and more fatigued, he decided to go to the Gemelli Hospital.
