While still in critical condition, pope is showing slight improvement
Pope Francis’ condition has shown a slight improvement, which, however, is still critical, the Vatican said.
“There were no episodes of asthmatic respiratory crisis” Feb. 24, the Vatican said in its evening medical bulletin, and “some laboratory tests improved.”
He is still on supplemental oxygen through a nasal cannula, “albeit with slightly reduced flows and (a lower) percentage of oxygen,” it said.
Doctors are no longer concerned about his mild renal insufficiency, which is still being monitored, the bulletin said.
