Xia was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal in September. The surgeon at Saint Luke Hospital recommended cataract surgery, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $11,500, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $8,000 short. my daughter has been in and out of Saint Luke Hospital since September. The doctors say a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without cataract surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $11,500 is more than we can find. While we wait, Xia struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. The recovery period is expected to take about 5 weeks. During that time Xia 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 $8,000 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $3,250 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $2,850 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $460 • Post-operative medication: $430 • Physiotherapy sessions: $530 • Travel and lodging for the family: $480 Thanks for reading all this.
