Olumide was diagnosed with gallstones with repeated infections in July. The surgeon at Ogbomosho University Hospital recommended valve repair surgery, and He is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,050, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $850 short. my husband has been in and out of Ogbomosho University Hospital since July. The doctors say gallstones with repeated infections will get worse without valve repair surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,050 is more than we can find. While we wait, Olumide struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. 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 7 weeks. During that time Olumide won't be able to work a full shift, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $850 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $260 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $350 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $85 • Post-operative medication: $45 • Physiotherapy sessions: $75 • Travel and lodging for the family: $35 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Juliet
