Precious was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal in July. The surgeon at Johannesburg Orthopedic Institute recommended septoplasty, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $2,700, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $1,900 short. my wife has been in and out of Johannesburg Orthopedic Institute since July. The doctors say a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without septoplasty. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $2,700 is more than we can find. While we wait, Precious 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 12 weeks. During that time Precious 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 $1,900 goes: โ€ข Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $880 โ€ข Hospital stay (3 nights): $760 โ€ข Pre-operative tests and imaging: $75 โ€ข Post-operative medication: $45 โ€ข Physiotherapy sessions: $90 โ€ข Travel and lodging for the family: $50 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
