Editor’s Note: Every 12 hours the narrative about Pope Francis’ health changes. Now we are told that he was given a blood test and that it shows a slight improvement in combating “inflammatory” agents. So it does appear that he is suffering from a blood infection. And coupled with his gross amounts of water retention, the immediate suspect of cause is renal failure, that is a failure of the kidneys. — I speculated that this was the case days ago, since with both Pope Benedict XVI and Archbishop Ganswein having come down with this, I surmise that the water supply at the Vatican is detrimental to kidney health.
Monitoring inflammatory markers is routine practice in evaluating the status of sepsis.
God help us all .We may get a worse new one.
