Finn needs gallbladder removal at Saint Luke Hospital and the family is $6,000 short of the hospital's estimate.

Finn was diagnosed with a hernia that has become strangulated in August. The surgeon at Saint Luke Hospital recommended gallbladder removal, and He is scheduled for December. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $8,500, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $6,000 short.
my father has been in and out of Saint Luke Hospital since August. The doctors say a hernia that has become strangulated will get worse without gallbladder removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $8,500 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Finn struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. 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 6 weeks. During that time Finn won't be able to work a full shift, 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 $6,000 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $3,450
• Hospital stay (3 nights): $1,150
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $380
• Post-operative medication: $160
• Physiotherapy sessions: $480
• Travel and lodging for the family: $380
Glad we found this place.

Stay strong, Fabian. Get well soon. Greetings from Bekasi
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Finn
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. surgeon and anesthesia fees comes first ($3,450) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Let me know if you want more detail.
hope it all works out. Your post was clear and honest. Don't give up. Take care.
