Laparoscopic endometriosis surgery for Soledad: covering what insurance won't

Soledad was diagnosed with a deviated septum causing chronic infections in September. The surgeon at Saint Francis Hospital recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,250, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $950 short. my sister has been in and out of Saint Francis Hospital since September. 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 $1,250 is more than we can find. While we wait, Soledad 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. The recovery period is expected to take about 7 weeks. During that time Soledad 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 $950 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $125 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $540 • Post-operative medication: $125 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $160 Glad we found this place.

          Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. After 15 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings
