Pope Francis’ Health is Improving

I have hopeful news.

Pope Francis’ health is slowly improving.

The “slight” kidney failure that his blood tests showed has backed off and his other blood values are also improving. While our Poppa is still critically ill, and his prognosis is “guarded,” this is a sign of hope.

From Vatican News:

“The Holy Father’s condition has shown a slight further improvement over the past 24 hours. The mild kidney insufficiency observed in recent days has subsided. A chest CT scan carried out last night showed a normal progression of the lung inflammation. Blood tests conducted today confirmed the improvement seen yesterday.

The Holy Father remains on high-flow oxygen therapy but has not experienced any asthma-like respiratory episodes today. Respiratory physiotherapy is continuing. Despite the slight improvement, his prognosis remains guarded.

This morning, the Holy Father received the Eucharist, and in the afternoon, he resumed his work.”
