Frank was diagnosed with a cleft palate needing repair in August. The surgeon at Fayetteville Community Hospital recommended knee replacement surgery, and He is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $7,250, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $4,300 short.
my father has been in and out of Fayetteville Community Hospital since August. The doctors say a cleft palate needing repair will get worse without knee replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $7,250 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Frank 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 Frank won't be able to walk without help, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $4,300 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $3,100
• Travel and lodging for the family: $460
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $490
• Post-operative medication: $250
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
