Ethan was diagnosed with a deviated septum causing chronic infections in May. The surgeon at Leeds University Hospital recommended a craniotomy, and He is scheduled for August. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $6,750, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $5,300 short.
my father has been in and out of Leeds University Hospital since May. The doctors say a deviated septum causing chronic infections will get worse without a craniotomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $6,750 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Ethan struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. 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 3 weeks. During that time Ethan 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 $5,300 goes:
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $530
• Post-operative medication: $140
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,800
• Hospital stay (2 nights): $2,250
• Physiotherapy sessions: $580
I hope life is good to you.
