"The Holy Father's condition remains critical ; however , since yesterday evening he has not presented any further respiratory crises . He has undergone two units of concentrated red blood cells with benefit and with an increase in the hemoglobin a value . Thrombocytopenia has remained stable; however, some blood tests show an initial, mild, renal insufficiency, currently under control . High-flow oxygen therapy through nasal cannulas continues". This is stated in the Medical Bulletin released this evening by the Vatican Press Office.
" The Holy Father continues to be vigilant and well oriented . The complexity of the clinical picture, and the wait necessary for the pharmacological therapies to give some feedback, require that the prognosis remain reserved", the medical bulletin continues.
" During the morning , in the apartment set up on the 10th floor, he participated in the Holy Mass , together with those who are taking care of him during these days of hospitalization", adds the Vatican Press Office.
