Samantha was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery in August. The surgeon at Fort Worth Regional Medical Center recommended a partial thyroidectomy, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $16,000, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $7,950 short. my daughter has been in and out of Fort Worth Regional Medical Center since August. The doctors say endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without a partial thyroidectomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $16,000 is more than we can find. While we wait, Samantha struggles with daily life and can't drive. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 4 weeks. During that time Samantha won't be able to drive, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $7,950 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,600 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $3,850 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $450 • Post-operative medication: $360 • Physiotherapy sessions: $470 • Travel and lodging for the family: $220 Thank you for reading my story. - Kylie
