Caleb was diagnosed with severe cataracts in both eyes in November. The surgeon at Sydney Orthopedic Institute recommended a partial thyroidectomy, and He is scheduled for January. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $15,250, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $7,600 short. my son has been in and out of Sydney Orthopedic Institute since November. The doctors say severe cataracts in both eyes will get worse without a partial thyroidectomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $15,250 is more than we can find. While we wait, Caleb struggles with daily life and can't walk without help. 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 Caleb won't be able to walk without help, 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 $7,600 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $3,400 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $2,450 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $510 • Post-operative medication: $290 • Physiotherapy sessions: $650 • Travel and lodging for the family: $300 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Isaac
