Laurent was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly in February. The surgeon at Kelowna Regional Medical Center recommended hip replacement surgery, and He is scheduled for May. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $4,950, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $3,950 short.
my father has been in and out of Kelowna Regional Medical Center since February. The doctors say a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without hip replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $4,950 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Laurent 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.
Rehabilitation is expected to take about 10 weeks. During that time Laurent 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 $3,950 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,350
• Post-operative medication: $230
• Hospital stay (2 nights): $1,370
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

thinking of you and your family. I hope things turn around soon. Greetings from Springfield.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Laurent.
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. surgeon and anesthesia fees comes first ($2,350) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Ask me anything else.
Wishing you the best, Jade. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Istanbul.
Rooting for you. This could happen to any of us. I have a 9 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless
Wishing you peace, Jade. Wishing Laurent a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Love from Los Angeles.
