Okechukwu was diagnosed with an aortic valve defect in August. The surgeon at Ogbomosho Regional Medical Center recommended cataract surgery, and He is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $690, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $550 short. my father has been in and out of Ogbomosho Regional Medical Center since August. The doctors say an aortic valve defect will get worse without cataract surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $690 is more than we can find. While we wait, Okechukwu struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 8 weeks. During that time Okechukwu won't be able to lift anything heavy, so the costs keep growing. The money goes straight to the treatment bills, and I'll share the invoices as they're paid so you can see exactly what your gift did. Where the $550 goes: • Post-operative medication: $30 • Travel and lodging for the family: $65 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $390 • Physiotherapy sessions: $65 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
