Pope Francis showed “gradually, slightly improvement” after more than three weeks in the hospital, said Vatican on Saturday.
“The clinical condition of the Holy Father’s in the last days is stable, and, thus showing a good response to therapy,” said the statement from the evening of the Holy Fortress.
The Vatican said that Francis oxygen exchange improved, did not have a fever, and tests and hematochemical and blood and blood tests remain stable.
He received oxygen of high flow through nasal pipes during the day and is transferred to non-invasive mechanical ventilation overnight, cites Vatican.
“Doctors adore the reserved forecast,” Vatican said to make sure the pope continues to improve.
Francis received Eucharist on Saturday morning, said Vatican, then prayed in the chapel of his private apartment. The afternoon rested and worked.
Francis entered Rome Gemelli 14. February with a severe respiratory infection and has been struggling with double pneumonia ever since.
The 88-year-old leader of the Roman Catholic Church was stable from the least Wednesday. On that day, the Vatican said he had no respiratory crises, which took place in the days earlier.
Francis was first spoken from his hospitalization on Wednesday.
“I thank you from my heart for your prayers for my health with the square, I follow you from here,” he said on their gender Spanish. “May God bless you and the virgin protects you. Thank you.”
Francis, who had part of a single lungs removed as a young man, had respiratory problems in the past, but in his 12 years as the Pope none kept him hospitalized as this one.
