Jaxon was diagnosed with a hernia that has become strangulated in August. The surgeon at Glasgow Regional Medical Center recommended emergency hernia repair, and He is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $8,000, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $4,800 short. my husband has been in and out of Glasgow Regional Medical Center since August. The doctors say a hernia that has become strangulated will get worse without emergency hernia repair. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $8,000 is more than we can find. While we wait, Jaxon 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. The recovery period is expected to take about 5 weeks. During that time Jaxon 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 $4,800 goes: • Hospital stay (3 nights): $3,000 • Post-operative medication: $320 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $640 • Physiotherapy sessions: $840 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Victoria
