Pope Francis has shown “slight” improvement over the past 24 hours, but remains in critical condition, the Vatican announced Wednesday.
“The clinical conditions of the Holy Father in the last 24 hours have shown a further, slight improvement. The mild renal failure found in recent days has returned. The chest CT scan, performed last night, showed a normal evolution of the pulmonary phlogistic picture. Today’s blood chemistry and blood tests confirmed yesterday’s improvement,” the Vatican said in a statement.
“The Holy Father continues high-flow oxygen therapy; even today he has not presented respiratory crises. Respiratory physiotherapy continues. Despite registering a slight improvement, the prognosis remains confidential. During the morning, the Holy Father received the Eucharist. The afternoon was dedicated to work activities,” the statement continued.
