Marta was diagnosed with a hernia that has become strangulated in July. The surgeon at Adama University Hospital recommended cataract surgery, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,900, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $950 short. my daughter has been in and out of Adama University Hospital since July. The doctors say a hernia that has become strangulated will get worse without cataract surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,900 is more than we can find. While we wait, Marta 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. The recovery period is expected to take about 7 weeks. During that time Marta 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 $950 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $400 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $320 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $75 • Post-operative medication: $50 • Physiotherapy sessions: $65 • Travel and lodging for the family: $40 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
