A press release issued by the Press Office of the Holy See on the progress of the Holy Father’s health after the operation stated that the Pope is resting properly and his health has improved significantly. According to the press release, the Pope, who replied to the messages of greetings he received, also expressed his special thanks for the message sent by the child who was baptized in the children’s cancer ward of the hospital last March.
In a statement on the progress of the pope’s health issued Thursday evening by Vatican press director Matteo Bruni, doctors treating the pope said he had rested for a full day after the surgery and had started on liquid food. The medical staff reports that papa’s blood pressure and breathing are normal and his post-surgery progress is normal.
On Thursday afternoon, which was the Feast of Divine Mercy, the Pope received Holy Communion. Among the many messages that came to the Pope expressing their closeness, on the occasion of his visit to the hospital on March 31 last, Matteo Bruni informed that the message for a speedy recovery and the love of the family in the picture drawn by the baby Miguel Angel, who was baptized by the Pope at the Children’s Cancer Neurosurgery Ward, particularly touched the Pope, and the Holy Father called his mother and thanked him by phone.
Papa will remain in the hospital for 5 to 7 days as a precaution. The Holy See’s press office announced that the Pope’s public meetings have been temporarily suspended until June 18.
