Maverick was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor in April. The surgeon at Ann Arbor Orthopedic Institute recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and He is scheduled for June. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $8,750, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $6,100 short.
my father has been in and out of Ann Arbor Orthopedic Institute since April. The doctors say a benign brain tumor will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $8,750 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Maverick 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.
Recovery is expected to take about 10 weeks. During that time Maverick 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 $6,100 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $3,200
• Travel and lodging for the family: $460
• Hospital stay (4 nights): $2,100
• Physiotherapy sessions: $340
Glad we found this place.

wishing you the best, Shirley. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Take care!
look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I'm in farming myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless
hope the doctors have good news. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Los Angeles.
Wishing you peace, Shirley. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Ann Arbor.
Hope things get better soon. Get well soon. It's not much but it's yours
