From Fr. Trincado (12/20/21):
The bishop was discharged this morning from the intensive care unit.
He has now returned to intensive care in pneumology (as the previous time).
He is no longer under perfusion. He can eat and drink by himself.
He is still a bit dependent on oxygen, but again this is going in the right direction.
The pulmonary embolism continues to be treated and does not seem to be causing any further difficulties at this time.
He is in his right mind, still.
We can't be sure yet that he is out of danger, but his condition seems to be improving again. Let's pray that this improvement will be lost and that he will soon be able to leave the hospital where he has been for almost a month now (he was hospitalized on November 24).
We also ask you to pray for the repose of the soul of Mr. Michel Tougne. God has called back to Himself our great benefactor, this morning early in the hospital of Angers (he was hospitalized there the last 2 weeks following a covid infection).
From the beginning, he and his wife prepared, helped and maintained this work [of the seminary], which, without him, would not have been able to continue as easily and be what it is today.
May God repay him, by a blessing of his mercy, all that we owe him. May your prayers also accompany his wife and family in this ordeal.
Fr. Trincado SAJM
