Barry was diagnosed with severe cataracts in both eyes in July. The surgeon at Dublin Regional Medical Center recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and He is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $7,250, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $5,100 short. my son has been in and out of Dublin Regional Medical Center since July. The doctors say severe cataracts in both eyes will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $7,250 is more than we can find. While we wait, Barry 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. Recovery is expected to take about 7 weeks. During that time Barry 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 $5,100 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,950 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $1,350 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $470 • Post-operative medication: $350 • Physiotherapy sessions: $690 • Travel and lodging for the family: $290 Ask me anything below before you decide.
