Rowan was diagnosed with a cleft palate needing repair in August. The surgeon at Los Angeles Regional Medical Center recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and He is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $5,000, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $3,000 short. my brother has been in and out of Los Angeles Regional Medical Center since August. The doctors say a cleft palate needing repair will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $5,000 is more than we can find. While we wait, Rowan struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. The recovery period is expected to take about 3 weeks. During that time Rowan won't be able to lift anything heavy, 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 $3,000 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $230 • Physiotherapy sessions: $760 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $230 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $1,600 • Post-operative medication: $180 Thanks for reading all this.
