Today there have been no episodes of respiratory asthmatic crisis; some laboratory tests have improved. The follow-up of mild renal insufficiency is not worrisome. Oxygen therapy continues, although with a slightly reduced flow and percentage of oxygen. The doctors, in view of the complexity of the clinical picture, do not yet give a prudent prognosis.

Pope Francis thanked all the people of God who had gathered to pray for his health in recent days. _Source: https://x.com/zenitenglish (with information from the Press Office of the Holy See)_
