Brooks was diagnosed with severe cataracts in both eyes in December. The surgeon at Saint Elizabeth Hospital recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and He is scheduled for March. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $6,250, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $4,750 short. my son has been in and out of Saint Elizabeth Hospital since December. The doctors say severe cataracts in both eyes will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $6,250 is more than we can find. While we wait, Brooks struggles with daily life and can't walk without help. 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 Brooks won't be able to walk without help, 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 $4,750 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $880 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,900 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $370 • Post-operative medication: $280 • Travel and lodging for the family: $320 If you're reading this, thank you.
