Marwan was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal in September. The surgeon at Medina Community Hospital recommended palate reconstruction surgery, and He is scheduled for December. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $5,750, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $3,450 short. my father has been in and out of Medina Community Hospital since September. The doctors say a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without palate reconstruction surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $5,750 is more than we can find. While we wait, Marwan struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. The recovery period is expected to take about 3 weeks. During that time Marwan 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 $3,450 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,350 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $1,150 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $260 • Post-operative medication: $95 • Physiotherapy sessions: $370 • Travel and lodging for the family: $225 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
