Ebba's hip replacement surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill

Ebba was diagnosed with a hernia that has become strangulated in June. The surgeon at Stockholm Orthopedic Institute recommended hip replacement surgery, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $9,250, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $5,550 short. my mother has been in and out of Stockholm Orthopedic Institute since June. The doctors say a hernia that has become strangulated will get worse without hip replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $9,250 is more than we can find. While we wait, Ebba struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. 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 Ebba won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, 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 $5,550 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $3,050 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $1,150 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $330 • Post-operative medication: $320 • Physiotherapy sessions: $360 • Travel and lodging for the family: $340 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Annika
