A new update has been issued about Pope Francis' health battle, with the Holy See Press Office reporting good news.
Pope Francis has spent just under three weeks in Rome's Gemelli Hospital battling bilateral pneumonia. "The Holy Father increased his respiratory and active motor physiotherapy. He spent the day in his armchair. Given the complexity of the clinical situation, the prognosis remains guarded." "Afterwards, he engaged in several work activities," the statement continued. "During the morning, he also called Father Gabriel Romanelli, the parish priest of the Holy Family Church in Gaza. In the afternoon, he alternated between rest and work."He experienced a concerning "isolated" breathing crisis in hospital, which led to him inhaling vomit. The 88 year old pontiff had to undergo non-invasive mechanical ventilation following the incident.
