Harper was diagnosed with gallstones with repeated infections in August. The surgeon at Glasgow Orthopedic Institute recommended a partial thyroidectomy, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,750, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $1,050 short. my mother has been in and out of Glasgow Orthopedic Institute since August. The doctors say gallstones with repeated infections will get worse without a partial thyroidectomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,750 is more than we can find. While we wait, Harper struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Recovery is expected to take about 12 weeks. During that time Harper 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 $1,050 goes: • Post-operative medication: $250 • Physiotherapy sessions: $370 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $430 Every share and every dollar helps.

                      Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Glasgow.
