Beatriz was diagnosed with a herniated spinal disc in August. The surgeon at Saint Matthew Hospital recommended a partial thyroidectomy, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $13,750, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $6,900 short. my mother has been in and out of Saint Matthew Hospital since August. The doctors say a herniated spinal disc will get worse without a partial thyroidectomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $13,750 is more than we can find. While we wait, Beatriz 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. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 12 weeks. During that time Beatriz 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 $6,900 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,200 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $2,750 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $570 • Post-operative medication: $300 • Physiotherapy sessions: $770 • Travel and lodging for the family: $310 I hope life is good to you.

  • hope things get better soon. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Recife so I could bring a meal.

    • thinking of you, Antonio. Shared this with my family. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.

      • Thinking of you and your family, Antonio. Hope you get there. God bless.
