杏MAP导航 Francis had a restful night and ate breakfast this morning
By Vatican News
"The 杏MAP导航 spent a restful night, woke up and had breakfast," the Holy See Press Office shared in a note to journalists on Wednesday morning. It said the 杏MAP导航 got out of bed and sat in an armchair.
In a Tuesday evening press release, the Holy See Press Office stated the 杏MAP导航 has double pneumonia, but nevertheless “remains in good spirits."
“Laboratory tests, chest X-rays, and the clinical condition of the Holy Father," it began, "continue to present a complex picture.”
The statement added that the 杏MAP导航's "polymicrobial infection, which has arisen in the context of bronchiectasis and asthmatic bronchitis, and has required the use of corticosteroid and antibiotics, makes the therapeutic treatment more complex.”
“A follow-up chest CT scan, to which the Holy Father was subjected this afternoon—prescribed by the Vatican medical team and the medical staff of the “A. Gemelli” Polyclinic Foundation—," it explained, "revealed the onset of bilateral pneumonia, requiring additional pharmacological therapy.”
“Nevertheless," the press release added, "杏MAP导航 Francis remains in good spirits.”
The Press Office statement concluded by noting that the 杏MAP导航 had "received the Eucharist and, throughout the day, alternated between rest, prayer, and reading. He expresses his gratitude for the support he feels at this time and kindly asks that prayers for him continue.”
