Laparoscopic cyst removal for Adaeze: covering what insurance won't

Adaeze was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction in September. The surgeon at Ogbomosho Regional Medical Center recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,350, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $800 short. my daughter has been in and out of Ogbomosho Regional Medical Center since September. The doctors say a torn ligament that needs reconstruction will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,350 is more than we can find. While we wait, Adaeze struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. 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 6 weeks. During that time Adaeze won't be able to lift anything heavy, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $800 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $45 • Travel and lodging for the family: $35 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $450 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $270 If you can't give, please share this page.
