Maya was diagnosed with a hernia that has become strangulated in August. The surgeon at Lalitpur General Hospital recommended emergency hernia repair, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $870, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $650 short. my daughter has been in and out of Lalitpur General Hospital since August. The doctors say a hernia that has become strangulated will get worse without emergency hernia repair. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $870 is more than we can find. While we wait, Maya 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. The recovery period is expected to take about 12 weeks. During that time Maya 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 $650 goes: • Post-operative medication: $40 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $65 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $470 • Physiotherapy sessions: $75 Thanks for being kind about this.
