Peoria

Abigail was diagnosed with a hernia that has become strangulated in February. The surgeon at Peoria Orthopedic Institute recommended cataract surgery, and She is scheduled for April. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,850, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $1,100 short. my mother has been in and out of Peoria Orthopedic Institute since February. The doctors say a hernia that has become strangulated will get worse without cataract surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,850 is more than we can find. While we wait, Abigail struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. 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 12 weeks. During that time Abigail won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $1,100 goes: • Post-operative medication: $240 • Travel and lodging for the family: $260 • Physiotherapy sessions: $600 With deep gratitude, Jayden

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Abigail!

  The list at the bottom is the whole picture. post-operative medication is the biggest at $240. Fair thing to want to know.
