Margaux was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal in June. The surgeon at Limoges General Hospital recommended valve repair surgery, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $3,350, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $2,500 short. my mother has been in and out of Limoges General Hospital since June. The doctors say a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without valve repair surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $3,350 is more than we can find. While we wait, Margaux struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. 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 12 weeks. During that time Margaux won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $2,500 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $630 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $1,650 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $220 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
