Josefa was diagnosed with a hernia that has become strangulated in July. The surgeon at Sacramento Regional Medical Center recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $7,000, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $4,250 short. my daughter has been in and out of Sacramento Regional Medical Center since July. The doctors say a hernia that has become strangulated will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $7,000 is more than we can find. While we wait, Josefa 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. Recovery is expected to take about 8 weeks. During that time Josefa 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 $4,250 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $660 • Physiotherapy sessions: $680 • Travel and lodging for the family: $520 • Post-operative medication: $410 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $1,980 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
