Pope Francis spends “well” the night in the hospital where he continues admitted with bilateral pneumonia

Pope Francis has had a “good” night, He has risen and breakfast, as reported on Friday the press office of the Holy See. This Friday the eighth day is fulfilled from admission to the Gemelli Hospital in Rome, after the “slight improvement” experienced by Francisco in recent days.

“The night has passed well. This morning the Pope has risen and has breakfast,” reports the Vatican, who will communicate the medical evolution of the Pontiff.

Pope Francis’s health has experienced a “slight improvement”, It does not present fever and its hemodynamic parameters are “stable” on its seventh day hospitalized for bilateral pneumonia, said the Holy See, in its last medical bulletin. The stability of hemodynamic parameters implies that “the heart endures pharmacological therapy well,” Vatican sources said.

The Supreme Pontiff, 88, was Admitted last Friday at the Gemelli Hospital in Rome for his breathing problems, due to a bronchitis due to polymicrobiological infection to which bilateral pneumonia was added.

However, the sources indicated that it is a pneumonia located in certain lobes or points of the Pope’s lung. Francis continues to breathe on his ownwithout the need for oxygen contributionand continues with the same therapy, although this could vary in the next few days. Since its hospitalization, its clinical picture has been described as “complex” and has required additional pharmacological therapy.

However, after Tuesday’s bulletin, which raised concern about the situation of the pontiff by revealing that he suffered bilateral pneumonia, the last communications of the Vatican point to a “slight improvement.”

Pope’s desire, fulfill the jubilee

The Pope could give up “if he had serious difficulties to fulfill his service”, but “his great desire is to fulfill at least the jubilee,” he says Cardinal Gianfranco Ravasi, when a week has elapsed since admission to the Gemelli Polyclinic of Rome.

“I think so. If I had serious difficulties in fulfilling your service, you will make your own decision. It will be he who decides, of course, maybe I ask for advice, but the last word will evaluate it for itself, in conscience,” Ravasi explains In the ‘Corriere della Sera’ When asked about a possible resignation in case of serious health problems.

And add: “Making it clear that his great desire is to fulfill at least the jubilee, the Holy Year dedicated to the hope he feels like his great moment,” duck. Ravasi points out that the pontiff “even with the difficulties linked to his age and his physical condition has continued to have a unique presence on the planet, as perhaps only John Paul II. His voice and action are recognized by both believers and not by the no by the no by the no believers. “

In this sense, it emphasizes “the long and demanding trip that made Asia and Oceania in September, despite the wheelchair, despite everything. It was a great lesson, such as that of Paralympic athletes. It showed that it can be done anything even in fragility. “

Now “it is about understanding what will happen in the future. Of all, Francisco explained that he had already signed a renunciation letter at the beginning of his pontificate, as Paul VI did,” he says, before describing as “remarkable that his conditions They have been explained clearly “, with” very precise indications. “

And about the false rumors about the health of the Pontiff that circulate these days, the cardinal is clear. “Especially in the network and in the American sites there are A strong anti-Bergoglio current: Although it is never explicit, an expectation of change that is also expressed through the ‘fake news’ is evident. There is a strong polarization, “he says.
