Pope Leo XIV has resumed walking around his hospital room, eating regular meals and undergoing respiratory physiotherapy as doctors report that his recovery following lung surgery is progressing as expected.
The Holy Father’s latest medical update indicates that his postoperative recovery remains on track, with no unexpected findings reported by his medical team.
Dr Luigi Carbone and Professor Stefano Margaritora said blood tests and a chest X-ray conducted on the morning of the latest update showed normal results for the type of surgery the Pope underwent.
The doctors also confirmed that the Pope had begun moving around his room and resumed eating regular meals, while continuing with respiratory physiotherapy to support his recovery.
The latest assessment suggests that the Pope is responding as expected following the lung procedure, with medical examinations showing no abnormalities beyond what would be anticipated after such surgery.
His progress will continue to be monitored by his medical team as he recuperates.
The update provides reassurance about the Pope’s condition, particularly following the lung procedure, although further medical assessments will determine the next stages of his recovery.
