Aurora
Isabel was diagnosed with gallstones with repeated infections in August. The surgeon at Aurora General Hospital recommended a partial thyroidectomy, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $7,750, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $4,650 short. my mother has been in and out of Aurora General Hospital since August. The doctors say gallstones with repeated infections will get worse without a partial thyroidectomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $7,750 is more than we can find. While we wait, Isabel struggles with daily life and can't walk without help. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Recovery is expected to take about 7 weeks. During that time Isabel 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 $4,650 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $600 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $3,800 • Travel and lodging for the family: $250 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
