The updating of the Catholic Church leader’s clinical report does not account for changes in his health
Pope Francis spent another quiet night, reveals the latest update of his clinical bulletin.
Although not already in critical condition, the Pope still receives respiratory assistance, through nasal cannulas during the day and oxygen mask at night.
On Thursday morning, the pontiff maintained the therapy and motor physiotherapy before praying, the Vatican said.
According to the latest medical bulletin, released on Wednesday night, the Pope’s state of health “remains stable” and “a chest radiography confirmed the improvements.”
On Thursday night, the Vatican press room reported that the Pope maintained respiratory physiotherapy during the day, saying that he was offered a cake to celebrate his 12 years of papacy.
A new medical report will be released tonight.
Francisco was hospitalized on February 14 due to a bronchitis, and then pneumonia was diagnosed in both lungs.
This hospitalization, the fourth and longest since its election, on March 13, 2013, represents a serious setback in the frantic rhythm that the Argentine Jesuit has imposed himself so far, despite the warnings of those who accompany him.
According to doctors, the recovery of a health problem like the Pope takes weeks to recover, but may take longer in the case of the pontiff, who had the upper lobe of the right lung removed at age 21 and has undergone a number of health problems in recent years, including two general anesthesia operations and repeated respiratory infections.
