Raghavan was diagnosed with a deviated septum causing chronic infections in August. The surgeon at Saint Anne Hospital recommended ACL reconstruction, and He is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $2,000, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $1,000 short. my son has been in and out of Saint Anne Hospital since August. The doctors say a deviated septum causing chronic infections will get worse without ACL reconstruction. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $2,000 is more than we can find. While we wait, Raghavan struggles with daily life and can't climb stairs. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. The recovery period is expected to take about 12 weeks. During that time Raghavan won't be able to climb stairs, so the costs keep growing. The money goes straight to the treatment bills, and I'll share the invoices as they're paid so you can see exactly what your gift did. Where the $1,000 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $410 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $260 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $115 • Post-operative medication: $50 • Physiotherapy sessions: $125 • Travel and lodging for the family: $40 Thanks for being kind about this.
