Jade was diagnosed with a deviated septum causing chronic infections in November. The surgeon at Saint Luke Hospital recommended gallbladder removal, and She is scheduled for March. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $8,500, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $4,300 short.
my mother has been in and out of Saint Luke Hospital since November. The doctors say a deviated septum causing chronic infections will get worse without gallbladder removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $8,500 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Jade struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. 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 4 weeks. During that time Jade won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, 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:
• Hospital stay (5 nights): $1,650
• Travel and lodging for the family: $240
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $250
• Physiotherapy sessions: $530
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,630
Thank you so much.

take care, Laura. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Marseille
Wishing you peace, Laura. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. God bless.
Good luck, Laura. Wishing Jade a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Blessings.
