On Sunday morning the Holy See Press Office reported that, “the Pope is still resting following a peaceful night.”
Pope Francis later had breakfast, coffee, and read the newspapers.
Speaking to journalists just after 12 pm, the Director of the Holy See Press Office, Matteo Bruni, confirmed that the Pope received Cardinal Secretary of State Pietro Parolin and the Substitute for General Affairs of the Secretariat of State, Archbishop Edgar Peña Parra, who came for a visit.
Yesterday evening the Press Office informed journalists that the Pope’s medical condition remained stable with respiratory physiotherapy alternating between non-invasive mechanical ventilation and long periods of supplemental high-flow oxygenation with a good response to gas exchange. It added that the prognosis still remains guarded.
The statement yesterday evening also noted that the Pope does not have a fever or show signs of leukocytosis (high white blood cell count). It added that the Pope remains alert, oriented and in good humour.
