Pope Francis has spent his 21st day in the hospital, continuing to recover from bronchitis that developed into bilateral pneumonia. The Holy See has confirmed that he experienced complications such as acute respiratory failure and bronchospasms.
However, despite health concerns, Pope Francis had a relatively quiet night at Rome’s Gemelli Hospital. He required non-invasive mechanical ventilation to ensure his stability, but the situation remains stable.
On Ash Wednesday, the Pope was able to participate in the rite from the 10th floor of the hospital, where he remained seated. Cardinal Angelo De Donatis presided over the ceremony and read the homily written by Pope Francis.
Yesterday’s medical report shows that the Pontiff can ingest solid foods but requires constant monitoring due to his delicate health condition. His recovery is closely monitored, and although some work activities have resumed, it’s not yet clear if he will fully recover soon.
