(ANSA) – ROME, FEB 24 – Pope Francis has woken up after a restful night and is continuing treatment at Rome’s Agostino Gemelli Hospital, Vatican sources said on Monday morning.
“The mood is good” and he is “eating normally”, they said.
Vatican sources also said the pontiff was “not in pain”.
They explained that the “suffering” reported in a medical bulletin issued on Saturday evening was due to the fact that the pontiff had experienced. a prolonged respiratory crisis.
Earlier in the morning, the Vatican had said that the pontiff’s tenth night in hospital “went well; the Pope slept and is resting,” read a statement by the Vatican Press Office.
On Sunday the Vatican explained that the 88-year-old Argentine pontiff’s condition remained critical after he had respiratory crises on Saturday.
A medical bulletin said blood tests showed that the pope’s thrombocytopenia, which occurs when the platelet count in the blood is too low, was stable but revealed early, mild signs of kidney failure, adding that this was currently under control.
It said the pontiff was continuing to receive high-flow oxygen therapy.
The pope was admitted to the hospital on 14 February after experiencing breathing difficulties and was initially treated for bronchitis before being diagnosed with pneumonia in both lungs. (ANSA).
