Pope’s condition ‘stable,’ therapies continue to show improvement, Vatican says
The Vatican says Pope Francis’ condition remains “stable” and that the Holy Father’s therapies continue to show “further, gradual improvement.”
Francis still needs “hospital medical therapy, motor and respiratory physiotherapy,” the Vatican’s Saturday evening update says, though the pope’s high-flow oxygen therapy is “progressively reducing the need for noninvasive mechanical ventilation at night.”
The pope’s ongoing stable condition “confirm[s] the progress highlighted in the last week,” the Vatican says.
A Vatican source says the pope remains in “a clinical situation of stability, in a framework that remains complex.” The Holy Father spent Saturday doing prayer, therapy, rest, and some work.
