Alejandra was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst in June. The surgeon at Los Angeles Orthopedic Institute recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and She is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $10,500, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $7,800 short. my mother has been in and out of Los Angeles Orthopedic Institute since June. The doctors say a large ovarian cyst will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $10,500 is more than we can find. While we wait, Alejandra 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. The recovery period is expected to take about 5 weeks. During that time Alejandra 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 $7,800 goes: • Post-operative medication: $190 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $3,850 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $3,760 With deep gratitude, Ángel

      Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Alejandra.

      • Ángel G. RuizOwnerAnswer

        Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. post-operative medication comes first ($190) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Thanks, that means a lot.

    • Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Blessings

      • hope you get there. I hope October is when things finally get easier. Blessings.

        • hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. All the best

          • So sorry you're going through this. Hope you get there. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless
