Corpus Christi
Brenda was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly in March. The surgeon at Corpus Christi Orthopedic Institute recommended spinal decompression surgery, and She is scheduled for May. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $6,250, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $4,350 short. my daughter has been in and out of Corpus Christi Orthopedic Institute since March. The doctors say a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without spinal decompression surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $6,250 is more than we can find. While we wait, Brenda struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 12 weeks. During that time Brenda 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 $4,350 goes: • Post-operative medication: $300 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,550 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $650 • Physiotherapy sessions: $850 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Roman
