Adhiambo was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction in July. The surgeon at Nakuru Community Hospital recommended palate reconstruction surgery, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $2,000, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $1,500 short. my mother has been in and out of Nakuru Community Hospital since July. The doctors say a torn ligament that needs reconstruction will get worse without palate reconstruction surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $2,000 is more than we can find. While we wait, Adhiambo struggles with daily life and can't walk without help. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 4 weeks. During that time Adhiambo won't be able to walk without help, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $1,500 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $600 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $530 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $95 • Post-operative medication: $30 • Physiotherapy sessions: $170 • Travel and lodging for the family: $75 If you're reading this, thank you. - Wanjiru

    is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Adhiambo.

    • Wanjiru Florence WaweruOwnerAnswer

      Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. surgeon and anesthesia fees comes first ($600) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Thanks, that means a lot.
