Update this morning:

"Despite yesterday's improvement, which made one think that he would soon be released from the hospital, today's news is not so good.
The monsignor is being intubated right now.
The doctor himself told me two days ago that the oxygen was going well, but the body, which was in "forced march" to compensate for the lack, supported by the oxygen mask, finally could not continue. It is therefore necessary to put him under artificial respiration, through a tube that goes directly into the trachea (hence the word intubation). This requires a general anesthesia (also called an artificial coma).
This anaesthesia can, in the best of cases, last about a week, in the other 3 weeks, even a month.
The goal is to keep the body supplied with enough oxygen while it continues to fight the virus.
The problem is how long it will take the body to fight the virus, also knowing that Monsignor is diabetic, and that represents an already weakened immune system.
The Monsignor was in his right mind before the intubation procedure, and according to a doctor specializing in anesthesia, coming out of anesthesia in this case is not a real danger.
Let us continue to pray that God will hasten his recovery as soon as possible.
Abbe Perez."

Prayers requested.
