On Saturday evening, the Holy See Press Office issued the
following statement concerning Pope Francis:
"The Holy Father's clinical condition remains
stable.
He is alternating between non-invasive mechanical
ventilation and long periods of supplemental high-flow oxygenation, maintaining
a good response to gas exchange.
The Holy Father does not have a fever and shows no
leukocytosis [high white blood cell count].
His haemodynamic parameters have always remained stable;
he has continued eat on his own and has regularly undergone respiratory
physiotherapy, in which he cooperates actively. He has not experienced any
further episodes of bronchospasm.
The Holy Father remains alert and oriented. He received
the Eucharist on Saturday afternoon, then devoted himself to prayer.
The prognosis remains guarded."
The Pope remains in good humour. Today he prayed in the
chapel near his hospital room for around twenty minutes.
