Elena was diagnosed with gallstones with repeated infections in November. The surgeon at Calamba University Hospital recommended a craniotomy, and She is scheduled for February. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,900, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $950 short. my mother has been in and out of Calamba University Hospital since November. The doctors say gallstones with repeated infections will get worse without a craniotomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,900 is more than we can find. While we wait, Elena 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. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 6 weeks. During that time Elena 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 $950 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $400 • Post-operative medication: $65 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $485 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Liza
