Margaux was diagnosed with a hernia that has become strangulated in December. The surgeon at Boulogne-Billancourt Orthopedic Institute recommended a craniotomy, and She is scheduled for March. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $9,000, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $5,350 short.
my daughter has been in and out of Boulogne-Billancourt Orthopedic Institute since December. The doctors say a hernia that has become strangulated will get worse without a craniotomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $9,000 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Margaux struggles with daily life and can't drive. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
Recovery is expected to take about 10 weeks. During that time Margaux won't be able to drive, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $5,350 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,900
• Post-operative medication: $330
• Hospital stay (3 nights): $2,800
• Travel and lodging for the family: $320
Thank you for reading my story.

Thinking of you. Hope the doctors have good news. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best.
Stay strong, Adam. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in Gothenburg donated after I showed her your page. Blessings!
