Ana was diagnosed with a hernia that has become strangulated in May. The surgeon at București University Hospital recommended a craniotomy, and She is scheduled for August. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $2,550, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $2,050 short.
my daughter has been in and out of București University Hospital since May. The doctors say a hernia that has become strangulated will get worse without a craniotomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $2,550 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Ana struggles with daily life and can't climb stairs. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
Recovery is expected to take about 8 weeks. During that time Ana won't be able to climb stairs, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $2,050 goes:
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $240
• Hospital stay (2 nights): $710
• Travel and lodging for the family: $60
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $950
• Post-operative medication: $90
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

You're not alone. Looking forward to the next update. Greetings from Hyderabad.
Sending love. This could happen to any of us. Wish I lived closer to Tokyo so I could bring a meal. Blessings.
your post was clear and honest. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings
It takes guts to ask. Well done. I'm in nursing myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from Dundee.
