Leyla was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal in March. The surgeon at Saint Anne Hospital recommended knee replacement surgery, and She is scheduled for June. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $4,100, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $2,050 short. my daughter has been in and out of Saint Anne Hospital since March. The doctors say a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without knee replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $4,100 is more than we can find. While we wait, Leyla struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. 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 Leyla won't be able to look after the children alone, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $2,050 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $730 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $870 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $100 • Post-operative medication: $55 • Physiotherapy sessions: $200 • Travel and lodging for the family: $95 Thanks for reading all this. - Selim
