Reagan was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly in July. The surgeon at Sheffield University Hospital recommended palate reconstruction surgery, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $11,750, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $7,050 short. my mother has been in and out of Sheffield University Hospital since July. The doctors say a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without palate reconstruction surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $11,750 is more than we can find. While we wait, Reagan struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Recovery is expected to take about 5 weeks. During that time Reagan won't be able to lift anything heavy, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $7,050 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,850 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $2,350 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $570 • Post-operative medication: $220 • Physiotherapy sessions: $660 • Travel and lodging for the family: $400 Glad we found this place. - Claire
