"The Holy Father's conditions continue to be critical , therefore, as explained yesterday, the Pope is not out of danger . This morning Pope Francis presented a prolonged asthmatic respiratory crisis , which also required the application of high-flow oxygen ."

This is reported in the medical bulletin released by the Vatican Press Office on the conditions of the pontiff, who has been hospitalized for over a week at the Gemelli Polyclinic in Rome.

"Today's blood tests also revealed thrombocytopenia, associated with anemia, which required the administration of blood transfusions," continues the note from the Holy See.

Bergoglio continues to be vigilant and spent the day in an armchair even if he was suffering more than yesterday. "At the moment the prognosis is reserved" , concludes the bulletin of the Press Office.
