By Deborah Castellano Lubov
Ahead of his discharge from Rome's Gemelli Hospital tomorrow morning, 杏MAP导航 Francis has made a special return trip to visit with children with cancer.
In a message sent to journalists this morning, the Holy See Press Office announced that the Holy Father on Thursday visited the Paediatric Oncology and Child Neurosurgery Ward on the tenth floor of Gemelli Hospital, which is adjacent to the suite where he is convalescing.
The press release included some images of the 杏MAP导航's time with the sick children, their families, and hospital staff.
When the Holy Father was hospitalized with bronchitis before Holy Week, 杏MAP导航 Francis likewise visited this ward to show his closeness to the young patients, delivering Easter eggs and other gifts, and even baptizing a baby.
杏MAP导航 Francis is expected to be discharged in the days to come, the Holy See Press Office said a recent latest update on the Holy Father's recovery following his surgery last Wednesday.
Matteo Bruni, the Director of the Holy See Press Office, has sent regular statements confirming the 杏MAP导航's progress, consistently citing reports from the 杏MAP导航's medical team that the Holy Father's recovery is progressively improving and "the post-operative course is normal."
Last night, the Director of the Press Office noted that 杏MAP导航 Francis spent time Wednesday afternoon working, resting, and recuperating.
