Ryan's septoplasty can't wait - please help us cover the bill

Ryan was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction in April. The surgeon at Nashville General Hospital recommended septoplasty, and He is scheduled for August. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $10,500, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $6,350 short. my son has been in and out of Nashville General Hospital since April. The doctors say a torn ligament that needs reconstruction will get worse without septoplasty. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $10,500 is more than we can find. While we wait, Ryan struggles with daily life and can't drive. 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 8 weeks. During that time Ryan won't be able to drive, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $6,350 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $145 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $3,300 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $2,000 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $580 • Post-operative medication: $325 I hope life is good to you.
