Thomas was diagnosed with severe cataracts in both eyes in September. The surgeon at Aurora General Hospital recommended emergency hernia repair, and He is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $10,250, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $7,200 short. my father has been in and out of Aurora General Hospital since September. The doctors say severe cataracts in both eyes will get worse without emergency hernia repair. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $10,250 is more than we can find. While we wait, Thomas 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. The recovery period is expected to take about 8 weeks. During that time Thomas 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 $7,200 goes: โ€ข Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $3,700 โ€ข Hospital stay (5 nights): $1,650 โ€ข Pre-operative tests and imaging: $540 โ€ข Post-operative medication: $230 โ€ข Physiotherapy sessions: $800 โ€ข Travel and lodging for the family: $280 I hope life is good to you.
