Fiifi's a partial thyroidectomy can't wait - please help us cover the bill
After a large ovarian cyst, Fiifi was cleared for a partial thyroidectomy, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Fiifi was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst in January. The surgeon at Saint Elizabeth Hospital recommended a partial thyroidectomy, and He is scheduled for March. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,800, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $900 short.
my son has been in and out of Saint Elizabeth Hospital since January. The doctors say a large ovarian cyst will get worse without a partial thyroidectomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,800 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Fiifi 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.
Rehabilitation is expected to take about 6 weeks. During that time Fiifi 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 $900 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $250
• Hospital stay (2 nights): $380
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $100
• Post-operative medication: $50
• Physiotherapy sessions: $90
• Travel and lodging for the family: $30
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
