After leaving the Gemelli hospital in Rome, the Pope’s health is now technically In the hands of Luigi Carbone, 61 years old, “reference doctor” of the Pope in the Vatican. He has been one of the doctors who have attended him in the Gemelli and has appeared in the two press wheels. Now he will make future decisions about therapy and rehabilitation and advise him on how long should he maintain convalescence. He will help him in this Massimiliano Strappetti task, 54, Francisco’s nurse and the person of whom Bergoglio trusts for these delicate subjects.
As seen as the Vatican moved by car, Francisco must Keep oxygen therapy almost all dayalternating high and low flows. Strappetti, who practically does not separate from his side, will help him every day with motor and respiratory rehabilitation. In case of complications, near Santa Marta you can count a medical team for emergencies available 24 hours a day.
With Francisco at Casa Santa Marta, but with the medical prescription of reducing contacts, the role of Edgar Peña Parra65, number three of the Holy See, whose position is the “substitute for the Secretary of State” with the mission of being a daily link between the Pontiff and the Vatican machinery. The Pope trusts this Venezuelan, who will be one of the few people with whom he can dispatch directly.

Go home with precise instructions of the doctors: its normal activity cannot immediately resume and must continue at least for two months pharmacological therapy, oxygen therapy and motor and respiratory rehabilitation. You will need time to recover the ability to articulate words, as happens to most patients who exceed bilateral pneumonia. The discharge occurs once the pulmonony and polymicrobial infection are under control and after two weeks of stationary situation. “In the last week his clinical situation has improved a lot,” said Pope’s doctor, Luigi Carbone on Saturday.
