杏MAP导航 Francis continues treatment amid ongoing improvement
By Vatican News
杏MAP导航 Francis had a restful night and woke up about 8 a.m. this morning, according to a statement published on Tuesday morning by the Holy See Press Office. This morning, the Holy Father is continuing his treatment and his physical therapy for respiration and mobility, and followed, via video link, the Roman Curia's Spiritual Exercises.
The Press Office also stated that the 杏MAP导航 spent time in prayer, and went to the chapel to pray.
On Monday evening, the Holy See Press Office provided an update on 杏MAP导航 Francis’ health, noting that given his ongoing improvements, the 杏MAP导航's prognosis is no longer "guarded."
In the statement, it explained the Holy Father's clinical condition remains stable.
Improvements recorded in previous days were further consolidated, as confirmed by both blood tests and clinical findings, as well as by the 杏MAP导航’s good response to pharmacological therapy.
For these reasons, the statement acknowledged, the doctors had decided today to lift their guarded prognosis.
"However, given the complexity of the 杏MAP导航’s clinical picture and the severe infection present at the time of hospitalization," it explained, "it will still be necessary to continue pharmacological treatment in a hospital setting for a period of time."
On Monday morning, the Holy Father had been able to follow the Spiritual Exercises of the Roman Curia via a video link with the Vatican's Paul VI Hall, and subsequently received the Eucharist and went to the chapel of his private apartment for a moment of prayer. The Roman Curia’s Spiritual Exercises, which are held every year, began on Sunday afternoon in the Paul VI Hall and are being led by the Preacher of the Papal Household, Fr. Roberto Pasolini, OFM Cap.
In the afternoon, the Holy Father had again joined the Curia's Spiritual Exercises, and throughout the day, had alternated between prayer and rest.
On Monday, the 杏MAP导航 sent a telegram of prayers and closeness to those who have experienced deadly flooding in the Argentinian port city of Bahía Blanca as well as the nearby city of Cerri.
