The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $9,000, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $6,350 short. my son has been in and out of London University Hospital since September. 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 $9,000 is more than we can find. While we wait, Hudson struggles with daily life and can't walk without help. 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 12 weeks. During that time Hudson won't be able to walk without help, so the costs keep growing.
