Pope Francis' Health: "Reducing Mechanical Ventilation At Night"
Francis has not been seen in public since he was admitted to the hospital on February 14. It is the longest such absence of his papacy (12 years on March 12). He will again miss the Angelus tomorrow, for the fifth Sunday in a row.
Statement from the Vatican Press Office, March 15, evening:
"The Holy Father's clinical condition has remained stable, confirming the progress shown in the last week.
High flow oxygen therapy continues, gradually reducing the need for non-invasive mechanical ventilation at night.
The Holy Father continues to require inpatient medical therapy, motor and respiratory physiotherapy. These treatments are showing further gradual improvements"
