Pope Had Good 10th Night in Hospital
Pope Francis slept well on his 10th night at Rome’s Gemelli Hospital, where he is being treated for double pneumonia, according to the Holy See Press Office
Pope Francis had a restful 10th night in the hospital, according to a statement published Monday morning by the Holy See Press Office.
“The night went well; the pope slept and is resting,” the statement read.
The pope is receiving treatment for double pneumonia at Rome’s Gemelli Hospital.
On Sunday evening, the Holy See Press Office said his condition remains critical, though he has not experienced any respiratory crises since Saturday morning.
Pope Francis received blood transfusions to bring up his hemoglobin levels.
“The thrombocytopenia remains stable; however, some blood tests show early, mild renal insufficiency, which is currently under control,” the Sunday press statement said, adding that “high-flow oxygen therapy continues through nasal cannulas.”
Earlier Sunday, the pope attended Mass in his apartment in Gemelli Hospital with the doctors, and nurses who are overseeing his treatment.
