Greyson was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal in July. The surgeon at Edinburgh Orthopedic Institute recommended hip replacement surgery, and He is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $9,000, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $5,450 short. my son has been in and out of Edinburgh Orthopedic Institute 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 $9,000 is more than we can find. While we wait, Greyson 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 10 weeks. During that time Greyson won't be able to walk without help, 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 $5,450 goes: • Hospital stay (5 nights): $1,100 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $3,400 • Post-operative medication: $290 • Travel and lodging for the family: $310 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $350 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Faith
