Ping was diagnosed with a hernia that has become strangulated in April. The surgeon at New Orleans General Hospital recommended emergency hernia repair, and He is scheduled for August. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $6,750, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $4,100 short. my father has been in and out of New Orleans General Hospital since April. The doctors say a hernia that has become strangulated will get worse without emergency hernia repair. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $6,750 is more than we can find. While we wait, Ping struggles with daily life and can't walk without help. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. The recovery period is expected to take about 7 weeks. During that time Ping won't be able to walk without help, 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 $4,100 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,200 • Travel and lodging for the family: $510 • Post-operative medication: $370 • Physiotherapy sessions: $670 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $350 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
