Pope feeling better, some engagements confirmed

(ANSA) - ROME, NOV 27 - The pope is feeling better and some of his upcoming engagements have been confirmed, while others have been postponed, Vatican Spokesman Matteo Bruni said on Monday.
    Francis's audiences for Saturday were cancelled after the Vatican said he was showing flu-like symptoms and on Sunday his Angelus address was given from the chapel of Casa Santa Marta residence where he lives inside the Vatican instead of from a window of the Apostolic Palace.
    During the Angelus, the Argentine pontiff said he was suffering from a lung-inflammation problem and had one of his aides, Monsignor Paolo Braida, read the address for him.
    "The pope's condition is good and stable, he has no fever and his respiratory situation is clearly improving," Bruni said Monday.
    "In order to aid the Pope's recovery, some important engagements scheduled for the next few days have been postponed so that he can dedicate the desired time and energy to them.
    "Others, which are of an institutional nature or are easier to support given his current state of health, have been kept".
    Bruni said that a CT scan Francis had on Saturday "ruled out pneumonia, but showed lung inflammation causing some breathing difficulties".
    He said doctors had put a cannula on the pope for "intravenous antibiotic therapy". (ANSA).
