Marie was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst in August. The surgeon at Saint Elizabeth Hospital recommended valve repair surgery, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $8,250, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $6,650 short. my wife has been in and out of Saint Elizabeth Hospital since August. The doctors say a large ovarian cyst will get worse without valve repair surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $8,250 is more than we can find. While we wait, Marie 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. Recovery is expected to take about 12 weeks. During that time Marie won't be able to look after the children alone, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $6,650 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $3,000 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $3,250 • Post-operative medication: $190 • Travel and lodging for the family: $210 If you're reading this, thank you. - Christian
