After 25 days in the hospital, doctors confirm that Pope Francis is improving. The situation is complex, but the Vatican says that the pope is out of what they call “imminent danger”.
Prudence and caution are called for, but it is stated that the pontiff continues to respond well to the pharmacological therapy he is undergoing to overcome bilateral pneumonia.
Doctors indicate that Francis will need to remain in the hospital for several days, although they did not indicate how many days.
In the last week there have been no new respiratory crises, although his situation caused great concern. This is how the faithful reacted when they heard his voice for the first time a few days ago.
To me, let's say that it has made my hair stand on end because I did not expect it. With the news that is going around out there, to hear him with that weak voice of hope and of giving us love and saying that he is there, that he is there, that we should pray for him…. Well, I was very impressed, I was very impressed.
The Pope, since Sunday evening, is participating from the hospital in the spiritual exercises that the curia is carrying out in the Aula Paolo VI. He is connected from the Gemelli and, for the moment, until the 14th he is not expected to work from the hospital, even if he gets better so that he can spend these days in preparation for Holy Week.
