Pope in slight improvement, Vatican “Good response to therapy”

VATICAN CITY (ITALPRESS) – “The Holy Father’s clinical condition over the last few days has remained stable and, consequently, testifies to a good response to therapy. There is therefore a gradual, slight improvement.” This was announced by the Vatican Press Office in its bulletin on the condition of the Pope, who has been hospitalized at the Gemelli Polyclinic since Feb. 14.

“The Holy Father has always remained apyretic. Gaseous exchanges have improved; hematochemical and hemocytocritometric examinations are confirmed stable. The doctors, in order to record these initial improvements in the coming days as well, prudently maintain the prognosis still reserved,” continued the bulletin on the Pontiff’s condition. “This morning the Holy Father, after receiving the Eucharist, gathered in prayer inside the Chapel of the private apartment, while the afternoon he alternated rest with work activities. In the morning, it had been reported that the night had passed quietly and that the Pope was resting.
