Pope Francis "spent the day resting"
following his abdominal surgery to fix a hernia caused by a 2021
operation Wednesday and his "hemodynamic and respiratory
parameters are stable", the Vatican press office said Thursday.
"The post-operative course appears to be regular," said Vatican
spokesman Matteo Bruni, adding that the pope had followed a
water diet.
Bruni said in the afternoon the Pope had "received the
Eucharist" for the fest of Corpus Christi.
Francis also made a brief telephone call to the mother of a
child he had baptised during a brief spell in Rome's Gemelli
hospital at the end of March to thank her for well wishes sent
by the family, Bruni added.
