Palate reconstruction surgery for Lubna: covering what insurance won't

Lubna was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal in January. The surgeon at Fez Orthopedic Institute recommended palate reconstruction surgery, and She is scheduled for March. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $2,150, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $1,300 short. my mother has been in and out of Fez Orthopedic Institute since January. 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 $2,150 is more than we can find. While we wait, Lubna struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. 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 7 weeks. During that time Lubna won't be able to look after the children alone, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $1,300 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $740 • Physiotherapy sessions: $95 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $465 Thank you for reading my story.
