The Pope in Gemelli, condition stable
Party at the Polyclinic with cake and candles to celebrate Francis' 12 years of pontificate. Therapies continue, and the Pope alternates high-flow oxygenation during the day and mechanical ventilation at night
A small party was held this afternoon in honor of the Pope at the Gemelli Polyclinic, where he has been hospitalized since February 14. According to the Holy See Press Office, the health personnel caring for Francis organized a brief moment to celebrate his 12 years of pontificate, giving him a cake with candles.
In the afternoon, the Pope followed the Spiritual Exercises of the Roman Curia via videoconference in the Paul VI Hall. He then resumed respiratory therapy.
The alternation between non-invasive mechanical ventilation during the night and high-flow oxygenation with nasal cannulas used during the day continues.
The clinical situation remains stable, with a complex picture. A new medical bulletin is expected tomorrow evening.
