Michelle was diagnosed with an aortic valve defect in May. The surgeon at Arlington Orthopedic Institute recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and She is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $7,000, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $5,200 short. my wife has been in and out of Arlington Orthopedic Institute since May. The doctors say an aortic valve defect will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $7,000 is more than we can find. While we wait, Michelle struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. 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 6 weeks. During that time Michelle won't be able to lift anything heavy, so the costs keep growing. The money goes straight to the treatment bills, and I'll share the invoices as they're paid so you can see exactly what your gift did. Where the $5,200 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $410 • Physiotherapy sessions: $690 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $4,100 I hope life is good to you. - Joseph

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($726 in total) we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
