Ethan was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal in July. The surgeon at Paris General Hospital recommended hip replacement surgery, and He is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $6,750, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $3,350 short. my father has been in and out of Paris General Hospital since July. The doctors say a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without hip replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $6,750 is more than we can find. While we wait, Ethan struggles with daily life and can't drive. 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 3 weeks. During that time Ethan won't be able to drive, 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 $3,350 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,950 • Travel and lodging for the family: $260 • Post-operative medication: $140 Thanks for reading all this. - Aurélie
