Oonagh's a craniotomy can't wait - please help us cover the bill

Oonagh was diagnosed with a deviated septum causing chronic infections in July. The surgeon at Dublin Orthopedic Institute recommended a craniotomy, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,700, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $1,200 short. my daughter has been in and out of Dublin Orthopedic Institute since July. The doctors say a deviated septum causing chronic infections will get worse without a craniotomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,700 is more than we can find. While we wait, Oonagh struggles with daily life and can't climb stairs. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 4 weeks. During that time Oonagh won't be able to climb stairs, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $1,200 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $460 • Physiotherapy sessions: $550 • Travel and lodging for the family: $190 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
