Achieng was diagnosed with a cleft palate needing repair in July. The surgeon at Kasarani University Hospital recommended ACL reconstruction, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $870, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $650 short. my sister has been in and out of Kasarani University Hospital since July. The doctors say a cleft palate needing repair will get worse without ACL reconstruction. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $870 is more than we can find. While we wait, Achieng struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. The recovery period is expected to take about 10 weeks. During that time Achieng won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, 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: โ€ข Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $530 โ€ข Post-operative medication: $40 โ€ข Physiotherapy sessions: $80 Glad we found this place.
