Pope Francis, wey dey hospital because of pneumonia, suffer breathing “crisis” on Friday wey make am vomit, but dem give am air and e respond well, na wetin Vatican tok.
Di matter happen just some hours after one Vatican source yarn say di 88-year-old Pope no dey for critical condition again, as e body don dey improve small small.
Francis, wey don spend di last two weeks for Gemelli hospital for Rome, “get one isolated bronchospasm crisis wey… make am vomit, inhale am back and e breathing come worse suddenly,” Vatican tok for statement on Friday evening.
“Di Holy Father quickly do broncho-aspiration and dem start am on non-invasive mechanical ventilation, wey e body respond well to,” di statement add.
Dem still tok say Francis “dey alert and sabi wetin dey happen all di time, e still cooperate with di treatment wey dem dey give am.”
Him doctors tok say dem go need di next 24 to 48 hours to check whether dis breathing problem go make e condition worse or e go stable, according to one Vatican source.
Di Pope, wey “never comot from danger”, dey use oxygen mask wey cover him nose and mouth, but e still get good spirit, di source tok.
Di source still add say, compared to other people wey get di same condition, di Pope dey respond better.
Dem first carry am go hospital on February 14 because of breathing wahala, but e condition later turn to pneumonia for both lungs, wey make people fear.
E get breathing attack for weekend, but since den e body don dey improve small small, as Vatican don dey release hopeful health updates.
But dem never change e medical status from “reserved”, meaning say doctors never fit predict how e health go be.
Medical experts don warn say because of Pope age and di chronic respiratory problem wey e get, e go take time before e body go fit fully recover.
Di Pope, wey dey lead almost 1.4 billion Catholics for di world, don already remove part of one of e lungs when e dey young, and for recent years, e health don dey worry am.
E dey quick catch bronchitis, and e get hip and knee pain wey don make am dey use wheelchair.
Even with all dis wahala, Francis still dey work from di special hospital suite wey dey di 10th floor of Gemelli hospital.
E still dey do breathing exercise in between e rest and prayers, according to Vatican.
Dis na di fourth time wey dem don admit am since e become Pope almost 12 years ago, and dis one na di longest.
For recent years, e don do surgery for e colon, remove hernia, and dem don admit am before because of bronchitis.
People don dey reason whether Francis go resign now, especially as e schedule dey tight with papal duties because of di holy Jubilee year celebration.
“If di Pope survive, many people believe say e go wan finish di Jubilee year, but after dat, when e don reach 89, e go face di decision whether to resign or not,” Italian Vatican expert, Marco Politi, yarn give AFP.
Francis don always tok say e dey open to di idea of resigning like e predecessor, Benedict XVI, wey step down for 2013 because of e physical and mental health.
But before dem carry am go hospital, Francis don talk many times say e never reach time for am to resign— and e fit never even happen at all.
