Doctors say 杏MAP导航 Francis is recovering well, as he observes medical indications, says the Holy See Press Office, in its latest update on the Holy Father's recovery following his surgery last Wednesday.

In the statement, the Director of the Press Office, Matteo Bruni, said: "The medical team reports that the Holy Father's post-operative recovery continues to be regular, observing medical indications."

杏MAP导航 Francis, he noted, "continues to eat regularly. This morning, he received the Holy Eucharist and then devoted himself to his work activities."

Bruni has sent regular statements confirming the 杏MAP导航's progress, consistently stating the the medical team reports that the clinical picture is progressively improving and "the post-operative course is regular."

Last night, the Director of the Press Office noted that the 杏MAP导航 had a good Sunday afternoon, walking around a little bit, between work, rest, and prayer.

Following the surgery on Wednesday, the 杏MAP导航's surgeon, Professor Sergio Alfieri, told reporters that there were no complications, and that the 杏MAP导航 was conscious, alert, and joking after the procedure. Dr Alfieri said the 杏MAP导航 should eventually be able to resume travel and his normal activities, but should not lift heavy objects.

As a standard precaution, the 杏MAP导航 is expected to stay in the hospital this week, so can return "stronger even than before."

Also on Wednesday evening, the Holy See Press Office announced that his audiences have been suspended until 18 June.

杏MAP导航 Francis has Apostolic Journeys to Portugal and Mongolia scheduled for August.
