Agus's spinal decompression surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill
Agus needs spinal decompression surgery at Saint Elizabeth Hospital and the family is $1,350 short of the hospital's estimate.

Agus was diagnosed with a hernia that has become strangulated in August. The surgeon at Saint Elizabeth Hospital recommended spinal decompression surgery, and He is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,800, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $1,350 short.
my husband has been in and out of Saint Elizabeth Hospital since August. The doctors say a hernia that has become strangulated will get worse without spinal decompression surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,800 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Agus struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. 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 10 weeks. During that time Agus won't be able to work a full shift, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $1,350 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $520
• Hospital stay (4 nights): $500
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $85
• Post-operative medication: $65
• Physiotherapy sessions: $120
• Travel and lodging for the family: $60
With deep gratitude,
Fani

Sending good thoughts. Shared it with a few friends. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home!
So sorry you're going through this, Fani. Shared this with my family. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
