Mackenzie was diagnosed with gallstones with repeated infections in February. The surgeon at San Diego University Hospital recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and She is scheduled for May. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $10,250, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $6,150 short. my mother has been in and out of San Diego University Hospital since February. The doctors say gallstones with repeated infections will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $10,250 is more than we can find. While we wait, Mackenzie 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 8 weeks. During that time Mackenzie won't be able to lift anything heavy, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $6,150 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $330 • Physiotherapy sessions: $730 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,400 • Post-operative medication: $195 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $2,495 Thank you for reading my story. - Savannah

    Keep going. Hope the doctors have good news. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like

    • Zainab Aisha Quadri

      Take care. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double

      • Sofía L. Ramos

        Take care, Savannah. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
