Iztapalapa
Citlali was diagnosed with a deviated septum causing chronic infections in August. The surgeon at Iztapalapa Orthopedic Institute recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $3,300, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $2,300 short. my mother has been in and out of Iztapalapa Orthopedic Institute since August. The doctors say a deviated septum causing chronic infections will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $3,300 is more than we can find. While we wait, Citlali struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. 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 Citlali won't be able to look after the children alone, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $2,300 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $75 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $920 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,050 • Physiotherapy sessions: $150 • Travel and lodging for the family: $105 With deep gratitude, Óscar
