Hải was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor in May. The surgeon at Hanoi Orthopedic Institute recommended emergency hernia repair, and He is scheduled for August. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $870, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $650 short. my father has been in and out of Hanoi Orthopedic Institute since May. The doctors say a benign brain tumor will get worse without emergency hernia repair. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $870 is more than we can find. While we wait, Hải 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. Recovery is expected to take about 3 weeks. During that time Hải 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 $650 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $65 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $460 • Physiotherapy sessions: $125 I hope life is good to you.
