Corinne was diagnosed with a deviated septum causing chronic infections in March. The surgeon at Lyon General Hospital recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and She is scheduled for June. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $4,800, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $3,600 short. my daughter has been in and out of Lyon General Hospital since March. The doctors say a deviated septum causing chronic infections will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $4,800 is more than we can find. While we wait, Corinne struggles with daily life and can't climb stairs. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Recovery is expected to take about 10 weeks. During that time Corinne won't be able to climb stairs, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $3,600 goes: • Hospital stay (4 nights): $2,450 • Physiotherapy sessions: $400 • Post-operative medication: $130 • Travel and lodging for the family: $370 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $250 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Marie
