Blessing was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly in August. The surgeon at Lagos University Hospital recommended septoplasty, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $600, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $450 short. my daughter has been in and out of Lagos University Hospital since August. The doctors say a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without septoplasty. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $600 is more than we can find. While we wait, Blessing struggles with daily life and can't drive. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. The recovery period is expected to take about 7 weeks. During that time Blessing won't be able to drive, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $450 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $85 • Travel and lodging for the family: $35 • Post-operative medication: $50 • Physiotherapy sessions: $55 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $225 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Yetunde
