Help Bruno pay for septoplasty at Oakland University Hospital

Bruno was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly in August. The surgeon at Oakland University Hospital recommended septoplasty, and He is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $7,750, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $5,850 short. my husband has been in and out of Oakland University Hospital since August. The doctors say a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without septoplasty. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $7,750 is more than we can find. While we wait, Bruno struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. The recovery period is expected to take about 5 weeks. During that time Bruno 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 $5,850 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,150 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $2,250 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $310 • Post-operative medication: $220 • Physiotherapy sessions: $770 • Travel and lodging for the family: $150 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Lourdes
