His medical team said on Friday that Pope Francis is not life -threatening, but it is not dangerous.
Francis doctors have handed over his first personal update about the Pope’s condition, saying that he would remain in the hospital at least next week. His doctors said on Friday that the Pope receives supplements from time to time from oxygen when he needs it and responds to the augmented drug treatment he receives to fight pneumonia and a complex infection in the lung.
Dr. Luigi Carbon gave Jimili Hospital Dr. Sergio Alviri and Persian doctor Francis, Dr. Luigi Carbon, the detailed update of the Francis case.
Carbon said that Francis was responding to drug therapy that was “reinforced” after diagnosing pneumonia earlier this week. It also fights a multi -bacterial infection of bacteria and virus in the respiratory system. Doctors said that there is no evidence that the germs entered his blood course, a condition known as blood rot, which they said would be the largest concern. Blood rot is the complications of infection that can lead to the failure of organs and death.
Francis also receives complementary oxygen when it needs it through the nasal channel, which is a thin flexible tube that delivers oxygen across the nose.
Francis was accepted at Jimili Hospital in Rome on February 14 after the exacerbation of bronchitis. Doctors later diagnosed a complex respiratory infection, which includes bacteria, viruses and other organisms and the beginning of pneumonia in both lungs over asthma bronchitis. They described “absolute comfort”.

As for the news that affects Canada and around the world, he participated in the urgent news alerts that were delivered directly when it occurs.
As his hospital continues, some Cardinals in Francis began to respond to the clear question that is being circulated: whether Francis might resign if he becomes irreversible and unable to continue. Francis said he would look at this, after Pope Benedict XVI opened the door to retired Popes, but he did not show any signs of step down, and in fact he recently confirmed that the Pope’s job is life.
Before updating the medical team on Friday, the Vatican said that Francis represents one week’s point in his stay in the hospital by waking up and leaving the bed for breakfast. Late Thursday, the Vatican reported a “slight improvement” in his comprehensive clinical condition, as his heart was working well.
