After a thyroid nodule that needs removal, Nam was cleared for palate reconstruction surgery, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Nam was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal in July. The surgeon at Saint Mary Hospital recommended palate reconstruction surgery, and He is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,800, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $900 short.
my son has been in and out of Saint Mary Hospital since July. The doctors say a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without palate reconstruction surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,800 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Nam struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. 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 Nam won't be able to lift anything heavy, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $900 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $360
• Hospital stay (5 nights): $300
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $55
• Post-operative medication: $40
• Physiotherapy sessions: $130
• Travel and lodging for the family: $15
I hope life is good to you.
