Pope Francis has shown “slight” improvement over the past 24 hours, but remains in critical condition, the Vatican announced Wednesday.
The Vatican provided an update on the Holy Father’s health status, indicating a slight improvement in his clinical condition over the last 24 hours. While there was a recurrence of mild renal failure observed, a chest CT scan performed the previous night showed a normal progression of the pulmonary inflammation. Additionally, today’s blood tests confirmed the improvement noted in yesterday’s results, according to the statement.
Despite undergoing high-flow oxygen therapy and respiratory physiotherapy, the Holy Father has not experienced any respiratory crises so far. Although there has been a minor advancement in his condition, the overall prognosis remains undisclosed. In the morning, he received the Eucharist, while the afternoon was dedicated to work-related activities, as mentioned in the update.
