Kirit was diagnosed with a deviated septum causing chronic infections in June. The surgeon at Lucknow General Hospital recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and He is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,800, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $1,350 short. my husband has been in and out of Lucknow General Hospital since June. The doctors say a deviated septum causing chronic infections will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,800 is more than we can find. While we wait, Kirit struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. 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 8 weeks. During that time Kirit won't be able to look after the children alone, 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 $1,350 goes: • Post-operative medication: $30 • Travel and lodging for the family: $35 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $440 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $720 • Physiotherapy sessions: $125 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
