Luciana was diagnosed with an aortic valve defect in December. The surgeon at São Paulo Orthopedic Institute recommended a craniotomy, and She is scheduled for February. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $2,300, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $1,600 short.
my wife has been in and out of São Paulo Orthopedic Institute since December. The doctors say an aortic valve defect will get worse without a craniotomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $2,300 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Luciana struggles with daily life and can't drive. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
The recovery period is expected to take about 10 weeks. During that time Luciana won't be able to drive, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $1,600 goes:
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $125
• Travel and lodging for the family: $95
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $790
• Physiotherapy sessions: $135
• Hospital stay (5 nights): $455
