Babu was diagnosed with gallstones with repeated infections in December. The surgeon at Saint Luke Hospital recommended a craniotomy, and He is scheduled for March. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $200, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $150 short. my father has been in and out of Saint Luke Hospital since December. The doctors say gallstones with repeated infections will get worse without a craniotomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $200 is more than we can find. While we wait, Babu struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. 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 4 weeks. During that time Babu won't be able to look after the children alone, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $150 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $40 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $55 • Physiotherapy sessions: $55 Thank you for reading my story.
