“The pope is fine, the operation has gone well, the news I have received, regardless of what has been published, reports that his postoperative period is positive. The pope has already expressed the desire to resume work,” the Italian cardinal told the media on the sidelines of the “Not Alone” event of the “Fratelli Tutti” foundation.
Regarding when he will be discharged from the hospital, Parolin explained that “it will depend on the doctors.”
The Vatican reported that Francis spent his third night at the Gemelli hospital in Rome “well” and that a new medical report will be published during the day.
In the last one on Friday, it was indicated that the postoperative period proceeds in a “normal” manner, he does not have a fever, intravenous therapy has been withdrawn, his hemodynamic parameters are “normal” and he continues to be fed a liquid diet.
On the third afternoon admitted, he has been praying and engaged in unspecified “work activities” and then received the Eucharist.
The Vatican statement added that Francis, 86, “is moved by the many messages that he continues to receive at this time,” especially from children who, like him, are admitted to the Gemelli and who have sent him some postcards with words of spirit.
