The world awaits Gemelli HospitalPope's "critical but stable" health condition"From conflict to communion": Pope Francis' ecumenical visionThis is the communiqué of the Holy See Press Office sent at 6:34 p.m. on Wednesday, February 26:
The Holy Father's clinical condition in the last 24 hours has again shown a slight improvement.
The slight renal insufficiency observed in the last few days has subsided.
The CT scan of the thorax, performed yesterday afternoon, showed a normal evolution of the pulmonary inflammatory picture.
Today's hematochemical and hemacytometric tests have confirmed yesterday's improvement.
The Holy Father continues oxygen therapy at high flow rates; today he has not presented any asthmatic respiratory crisis.
Respiratory physiotherapy continues.
Although there has been a slight improvement, the prognosis remains guarded.
During the morning, the Holy Father received the Eucharist. The afternoon was dedicated to work activities.
So much for the words of the communiqué.
The Vatican reported this morning four appointments of bishops in Mexico, Tanzania and Australia.
It has also been published the catechesis The Pope would have given in St. Peter's Square, which reflects on the infancy of Jesus.
Tonight the prayer of the Rosary in St. Peter's Square has not been called for.
