This is a report by Dr Jaques Makambo, processed and typed by Dr. Mark Schreiber.  Reverend Ditawa is suffering from congestive heart failure caused by compromised coronary arteries leading to cardiac tissue compromise, including left heart failure.  He has accompanying symptoms of swelling in the ankles, or peripheral edema.  He has fluid in his lungs, and is having difficulty breathing as a consequence.  He has suffered some degree of damage to his conduction areas and is having arrhythmias that the doctors are trying to stabilize.  His heart is enlarged and weak, (cardiomegaly)., and he is  very weak.  There may be a possibility of kidney pathology, but labs for this are still pending.  He may not be able to travel at this time until he can be more stabilized and become stronger.  If he gets to where he is able to travel, he will have to be accompanied by a physician on the plane. He is currently hospitalized in intensive care at Clinic Ngaliema.
