CNN reported today, March 9th, citing sources from the Vatican, that for the first time since being hospitalized about three weeks ago, Pope Francis is showing a good response to treatment.
Pope Francis was hospitalized for three weeks.
This information was revealed after the Holy See Press Office announced early on March 9 (Vietnam time) that Pope Francis was responding well to treatment and showing slight improvement since the acute respiratory distress syndrome incident on March 3.
Vatican sources indicate that the improvement stems from "gas exchange" in the lungs and blood oxygenation. However, the risk of respiratory distress remains and continues to be unpredictable, the sources emphasized.
The Pope continues to receive high-dose oxygen via nasal cannula during the day and non-invasive mechanical ventilation at night, according to the Holy See Press Office.
What message did Pope Francis send in his first recorded message after being hospitalized?
On the morning of March 8th, Pope Francis prayed inside a chapel. In the afternoon, he rested and worked. The Holy See Press Office stated that the Pope continued to issue texts to convey the message of the Angelus prayer on Sunday (March 9th).
Starting on March 9th, Pope Francis will participate in the traditional Lenten rituals at a hospital, CNN reported, citing Vatican sources.
Since suffering an acute respiratory failure on March 3rd, the head of the Roman Catholic Church has remained stable and has been receiving respiratory and physical therapy. On March 6th, he released a recorded message thanking his supporters for their prayers.
The Holy See Press Office regularly updates news from the hospital twice a day, and the evening prayer service for the Pope's health in St. Peter's Square, which began on February 24th, continues.
