Umesh was diagnosed with an aortic valve defect in May. The surgeon at Saint Anne Hospital recommended emergency hernia repair, and He is scheduled for July. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,450, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $1,150 short. my father has been in and out of Saint Anne Hospital since May. The doctors say an aortic valve defect will get worse without emergency hernia repair. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,450 is more than we can find. While we wait, Umesh 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 10 weeks. During that time Umesh won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $1,150 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $700 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $50 • Post-operative medication: $35 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $280 • Physiotherapy sessions: $85 I hope life is good to you. - Neha

      • take care. Your post was clear and honest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Jakarta Selatan.
