The Pope’s condition remains stable, with improvements in breathing and mobility.
He no longer uses mechanical ventilation at night and is reducing the use of high-flow oxygen during the day.
There is still no discharge date.
His day is spent between therapy, prayer, and some work.
On Friday evening, the Holy See Press Office released the following update on Pope Francis’ health:
“At night, he no longer uses mechanical ventilation with a mask but receives high-flow oxygenation through nasal cannulas, and during the day, he increasingly uses less high-flow oxygen.”
While the Pope’s condition continues to be stable and shows improvements in his respiratory and motor functions, the statement explained “the doctors have not yet given any indication regarding his discharge from the hospital.”
Ahead of the Angelus this weekend, the Holy See Press Office stated that “for the moment, the Sunday Angelus will take place as in previous Sundays.”
It clarified that if there are any updates, “the Press Office will provide an update tomorrow.”
However, the next medical bulletin is not expected to be given “no earlier than Monday.”
