Pope Francis continues therapy at Gemelli: condition stable, no discharge
The Pontiff hospitalised at the Gemelli Hospital in Rome shows slight improvements in motor and respiratory physiotherapy, but discharge is not yet planned
Pope Francis’ condition remains “stationary”, according to a statement released today by the Vatican Press Office. The Pontiff, hospitalised at the Gemelli Hospital in Rome for bilateral pneumonia, continues drug therapy along with motor and respiratory physiotherapy, which is showing slight progress.
Bergoglio alternates moderate-flow oxygen therapy with non-invasive mechanical ventilation, used mainly at night. In some brief moments, such as during trips to the chapel to pray, he manages to stay without oxygen therapy.
The swelling in his hand, visible in a photo released yesterday, is caused by reduced mobility, but is already decreasing. The Pope dedicated today to work, prayer and rest, while a new medical bulletin is expected on Wednesday evening. His resignation from the Gemelli is not yet close.
