Praises of thanksgiving offered up for the good news that the Pope has stabilized.
ROME (Reuters) - Medical tests on Pope John Paul have given satisfactory results and the Pontiff is expected to stay in hospital for one week, Vatican spokesman Joaquin Navarro-Valls said on Thursday.
"The Pope is well rested. He rested well all night and the laboratory tests that have been carried out have given satisfactory results," Navarro-Valls told reporters after visiting the Pope in Rome's Gemelli hospital.
Asked when the 84-year-old Pope would leave hospital, Navarro-Valls said: "It will be up to the doctors to decide, however in my experience we're talking about seven days or a week."

So far, so good. But please let us keep praying. Even being in the hospital can be risky sometimes nowadays from the danger of staph infections and such.
