AS 88-yer-old Pope Francis is on the road to recovery, a positive development comes in as he is currently reported as in stable condition after battling double pneumonia and experiencing respiratory issues.
The Roman Catholic figurehead has been resting in the hospital, where he is receiving treatment and supplemental oxygen. The Vatican has reported that he has not had any further respiratory crises and is able to pray and read during his recovery.
Confined at the hospital on February 14 with bronchitis, which later developed into pneumonia in both lungs, the Roman Catholic believers see that Pope Francis would finally recover. He and his fellow Catholics believe in God that he can be cured and the faith in God within him lives on.
As the leader of the world’s nearly 1.4 billion Catholics, devotees are upbeat with his situation as he “did not require non-invasive mechanical ventilation, only high-flow oxygen therapy.”
As Pope Francis elicits positivism, his fellow Catholics are also hoping against hope. Catholics must stay strong with him as the Pope is embarking to resume on his responsibilities soon.
Road to recovery is nearing. God’s will.#
