Oliver was diagnosed with gallstones with repeated infections in September. The surgeon at Los Angeles Regional Medical Center recommended a partial thyroidectomy, and He is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $2,650, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $1,850 short. my father has been in and out of Los Angeles Regional Medical Center since September. The doctors say gallstones with repeated infections will get worse without a partial thyroidectomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $2,650 is more than we can find. While we wait, Oliver struggles with daily life and can't drive. 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 3 weeks. During that time Oliver won't be able to drive, 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 $1,850 goes: • Post-operative medication: $210 • Physiotherapy sessions: $610 • Travel and lodging for the family: $280 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $750 I hope life is good to you.
