Pope Francis has already left the hospital, after having been hospitalized for three days due to infectious bronchitis.
“I’m still alive,” said the leader of the Catholic Church jokingly, guaranteeing that he is well and thanking the health professionals at the Gemelli University Hospital.
The Pope now returns to the Vatican in time for the Easter celebrations.
While he was in the hospital, Francisco took the opportunity to visit some of the children who were hospitalized, bringing them chocolate eggs and books, and he even baptized a baby named Miguel Ângelo.
On Friday, the Vatican had already announced that it expected the Pope to be discharged this Saturday.
The Pope, who has chronic health problems and uses a wheelchair due to pain in one of his knees, was hospitalized in the private room reserved for the popes, on the 10th floor of the Gemelli University Hospital, where John Paul II was hospitalized for several times during your papacy.
Francisco underwent medical examinations this Wednesday after presenting “difficulties breathing” in the previous days. Tests showed he had a respiratory infection, forcing him to be hospitalized, a Holy See spokesman said.
