Michel was diagnosed with an aortic valve defect in July. The surgeon at Saint Mary Hospital recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and He is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $7,000, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $5,200 short. my father has been in and out of Saint Mary Hospital since July. The doctors say an aortic valve defect will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $7,000 is more than we can find. While we wait, Michel struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. 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 12 weeks. During that time Michel won't be able to work a full shift, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $5,200 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,250 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $1,700 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $230 • Post-operative medication: $260 • Physiotherapy sessions: $470 • Travel and lodging for the family: $290 Thank you so much.

  1. Small update. $1,749 so far, we've started the first stage.

  2. Thank you all. We're at 20% now ($1,055). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the hospital and confirmed the amounts.
