Lubna was diagnosed with a hernia that has become strangulated in October. The surgeon at Zagazig Regional Medical Center recommended spinal decompression surgery, and She is scheduled for January. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $2,250, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $1,350 short. my daughter has been in and out of Zagazig Regional Medical Center since October. The doctors say a hernia that has become strangulated will get worse without spinal decompression surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $2,250 is more than we can find. While we wait, Lubna struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 4 weeks. During that time Lubna 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: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $490 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $580 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $95 • Post-operative medication: $35 • Physiotherapy sessions: $125 • Travel and lodging for the family: $25 Every share and every dollar helps. - Nada
