Harold was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery in June. The surgeon at Los Angeles University Hospital recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and He is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $6,000, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $4,850 short.
my son has been in and out of Los Angeles University Hospital since June. The doctors say endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $6,000 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Harold struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. 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 Harold won't be able to lift anything heavy, 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 $4,850 goes:
• Post-operative medication: $350
• Hospital stay (4 nights): $3,750
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $500
• Travel and lodging for the family: $250

Good luck. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Put this on a community board in Milan this morning.
So sorry you're going through this. Get well soon. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Los Angeles.
