Owen was diagnosed with a herniated spinal disc in September. The surgeon at Sacramento Regional Medical Center recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and He is scheduled for December. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,200, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $850 short.
my father has been in and out of Sacramento Regional Medical Center since September. The doctors say a herniated spinal disc will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,200 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Owen struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. 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 8 weeks. During that time Owen won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, 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 $850 goes:
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $270
• Travel and lodging for the family: $180
• Post-operative medication: $400

Praying for you. Hope this works out for you. Greetings from Kingston.
Sending strength, Andrew. Hope this works out for you.
Hang in there, Andrew. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
Hope things get better soon. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Sacramento
