Pope Francis has been receiving numerous get-well cards and hand-drawn greetings from schoolchildren in Rome as he continues to battle medical emergencies at Gemelli Hospital. The Holy Father was admitted on February 14 with bronchitis, but his condition worsened over the weekend, prompting a blood transfusion.
Despite his serious situation, Pope Francis remains alert and oriented, receiving oxygen therapy through his nose. His prognosis is still reserved due to the complexity of his case. On Sunday morning, he participated in Mass along with those caring for him at the hospital.
Schoolchildren sent heartfelt letters and drawings to the pope, wishing him a speedy recovery and expressing their love and admiration. One card read, “Dear Pope, I hope you get well soon so I can hug you. I love you so much.” Another noted, “We pray that you get well soon. It would be a great pleasure for us to have lunch with you in our school cafeteria.”
The Vatican has confirmed the pope’s continued recovery efforts, and he is expected to continue receiving medical treatment while making progress towards recovery.
