Corinne was diagnosed with an aortic valve defect in May. The surgeon at Reims Community Hospital recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and She is scheduled for August. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $7,000, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $4,150 short. my wife has been in and out of Reims Community Hospital since May. The doctors say an aortic valve defect will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $7,000 is more than we can find. While we wait, Corinne struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. 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 3 weeks. During that time Corinne won't be able to work a full shift, so the costs keep growing. The money goes straight to the treatment bills, and I'll share the invoices as they're paid so you can see exactly what your gift did. Where the $4,150 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $500 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,200 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $1,450 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
