Do-hyun was diagnosed with a herniated spinal disc in May. The surgeon at Las Cruces Regional Medical Center recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and He is scheduled for August. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $4,650, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $3,500 short. my son has been in and out of Las Cruces Regional Medical Center since May. The doctors say a herniated spinal disc will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $4,650 is more than we can find. While we wait, Do-hyun 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. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 7 weeks. During that time Do-hyun 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 $3,500 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $460 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,300 • Physiotherapy sessions: $740 If you're reading this, thank you.

    is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Do-hyun

    • Endale Nahom Desta

      thinking of you and your family, Jun-seo. This could happen to any of us. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too

      • Mateus Otávio Moraes

        thanks for sharing this. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Thinking of Las Cruces.

        • Imam Andi Wardana

          Best of luck, Jun-seo. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.

          • Hanna Mårtensson

            You're not alone. Wishing Do-hyun a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Take care.
