According to the wonderful Orthodox media, he is stable and "does not require intensive care". Guess it's kind of a pleasure trip to his birthland. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

arghton 7,105 Posted January 12 Anastasios extremely critical and intubated, although they seem to claim the worst is over. Suffers from "problems in various vital organs" and they're making "titanic effort" to keep him alive. Too early to say if the intestinal surgery was a success. I wonder if the doctors actually believe he can be saved. Sounds a bit like his clergy is in denial and pressuring them to do everything to keep him alive. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
