Randall was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal in May. The surgeon at Bakersfield General Hospital recommended septoplasty, and He is scheduled for July. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $8,000, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $3,950 short. my son has been in and out of Bakersfield General Hospital since May. The doctors say a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without septoplasty. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $8,000 is more than we can find. While we wait, Randall 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 6 weeks. During that time Randall 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 $3,950 goes: โ€ข Hospital stay (5 nights): $3,200 โ€ข Travel and lodging for the family: $155 โ€ข Pre-operative tests and imaging: $595 I hope life is good to you.
