Easton was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly in August. The surgeon at Manchester Community Hospital recommended spinal decompression surgery, and He is scheduled for December. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $5,250, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $4,200 short. my husband has been in and out of Manchester Community Hospital since August. The doctors say a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without spinal decompression surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $5,250 is more than we can find. While we wait, Easton struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 3 weeks. During that time Easton won't be able to look after the children alone, 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 $4,200 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,000 • Post-operative medication: $135 • Travel and lodging for the family: $140 • Physiotherapy sessions: $650 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $1,275 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
