ROME 鈥 Pope Francis, on the second floor of Santa Marta, in room 201, is living his convalescence with 24-hour assistance from the medical team of the Vatican鈥檚 Directorate of Health and Hygiene, continuing drug therapy, motor physiotherapy and above all respiratory physiotherapy which is also linked to speech therapy. This was announced by the Vatican Press Office, providing updates on how the Pontiff is experiencing his convalescence and on his state of health since he was discharged from the Gemelli hospital on Sunday.


The 87-year-old pontiff remains hospitalized after experiencing breathing issues and aspiration complications but has not been intubated, according to Vatican officials

As for oxygenation, the Pontiff continues to receive high-flow oxygen at night, while during the day there is an alternation of high flows with cannulas and there are times when he is without oxygen administration. Visits to room 201, it is reported, are kept 鈥渢o a minimum, to the closest collaborators鈥. The Pontiff, in his room in Santa Marta, also continues to do some work as he did in recent days during his stay at the Gemelli.

鈥淭he doctors have explained that the Pope is not in danger of life now, the measures being taken are in view of an improvement鈥, Vatican sources report. The same sources, asked about the interview in the Corsera with Sergio Alfieri, head of the medical team that treated the Pontiff at the Gemelli, regarding the fact that the doctor says that it was the Pope who asked the doctors 鈥渘ot to give up鈥 and to do everything possible on the critical night of February 28 when - as the doctors said - his life was at risk, point out that 鈥渢here are things that do not constitute therapeutic overkill鈥.

It is very likely that the Pope鈥檚 Sunday Angelus will be released only in written form as has happened on the other six Sundays in a row, the Vatican Press Office reports.

On the rites of Holy Week to be celebrated in less than a month 鈥渟ome things are still being decided鈥. And in any case, on the presence or absence of the Pope, and possibly in what way, 鈥渋t will be assessed on the basis of improvements鈥, they reiterate from the Vatican.

Now that the Pope has to follow a two-month convalescence in Santa Marta, as indicated by the doctors at the Gemelli, who will receive the Heads of State? 鈥淲e will see, there are no particular announcements鈥, they explain from the Vatican.

Polish President Andrzej Duda will arrive in Italy tomorrow and will most likely be received by the Secretary of State, Cardinal Pietro Parolin, on Thursday.

Yesterday, the Vatican Secretary of State, regarding the fact that King Charles is expected to arrive at the Vatican on April 8 , as announced by Buckingham Palace, expressed his hope that the Pope could 鈥渁t least greet him鈥.

New updates from the Vatican on the Pope鈥檚 convalescence at Casa Santa Marta are expected on Friday morning.
