Sana's laparoscopic cyst removal can't wait - please help us cover the bill
After a cleft palate needing repair, Sana was cleared for laparoscopic cyst removal, but the bill is more than we can manage.
🇵🇰 Punjab, Pakistan881 views
Sana was diagnosed with a cleft palate needing repair in September. The surgeon at Saint Elizabeth Hospital recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and She is scheduled for December. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $790, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $550 short.
my wife has been in and out of Saint Elizabeth Hospital since September. The doctors say a cleft palate needing repair will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $790 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Sana 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 3 weeks. During that time Sana 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 $550 goes:
• Physiotherapy sessions: $80
• Post-operative medication: $35
• Hospital stay (4 nights): $135
• Travel and lodging for the family: $30
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $270
Thank you so much.
