Jahid was diagnosed with a hernia that has become strangulated in September. The surgeon at Saint Joseph Hospital recommended emergency hernia repair, and He is scheduled for December. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,100, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $550 short. my son has been in and out of Saint Joseph Hospital since September. The doctors say a hernia that has become strangulated will get worse without emergency hernia repair. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,100 is more than we can find. While we wait, Jahid struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. The recovery period is expected to take about 10 weeks. During that time Jahid won't be able to lift anything heavy, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $550 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $35 • Post-operative medication: $25 • Physiotherapy sessions: $55 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $180 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $255 Thanks for being kind about this.
