Surgery fund for Brooklyn: septoplasty in San Jose

Brooklyn was diagnosed with a herniated spinal disc in November. The surgeon at San Jose University Hospital recommended septoplasty, and She is scheduled for January. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $8,000, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $6,000 short. my wife has been in and out of San Jose University Hospital since November. The doctors say a herniated spinal disc will get worse without septoplasty. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $8,000 is more than we can find. While we wait, Brooklyn 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. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 8 weeks. During that time Brooklyn won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, so the costs keep growing. The money goes straight to the treatment bills, and I'll share the invoices as they're paid so you can see exactly what your gift did. Where the $6,000 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $3,350 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $1,350 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $360 • Post-operative medication: $230 • Physiotherapy sessions: $380 • Travel and lodging for the family: $330 Glad we found this place. - Adrian
