Amber was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly in February. The surgeon at Birmingham Community Hospital recommended a partial thyroidectomy, and She is scheduled for May. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $9,750, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $7,250 short.
my daughter has been in and out of Birmingham Community Hospital since February. The doctors say a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without a partial thyroidectomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $9,750 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Amber struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. 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 8 weeks. During that time Amber won't be able to work a full shift, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $7,250 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,950
• Hospital stay (5 nights): $2,650
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $400
• Post-operative medication: $290
• Physiotherapy sessions: $540
• Travel and lodging for the family: $420
Thank you so much.

Rooting for you, Reagan. Shared this with my family. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
sending love. Wishing Amber a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Put this on a community board in Nagpur this morning. God bless.
