The Cardinal continues to do well. His vital signs are stable, he is afebrile, and he had been out of bed once this morning with plans to be up again at least once more today. There is no sign of further bleeding with blood counts remaining stable.

The Cardinal expresses his gratitude for all the prayers that have been offered for him and appreciates continuing prayers on his behalf.
