Surgery fund for Dominique: spinal decompression surgery in Montpellier

Dominique was diagnosed with an aortic valve defect in November. The surgeon at Saint Anne Hospital recommended spinal decompression surgery, and She is scheduled for February. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $6,250, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $3,750 short. my mother has been in and out of Saint Anne Hospital since November. The doctors say an aortic valve defect 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, Dominique struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. 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 6 weeks. During that time Dominique won't be able to lift anything heavy, 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 $3,750 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,400 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $1,350 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $250 • Post-operative medication: $135 • Physiotherapy sessions: $250 • Travel and lodging for the family: $365 Glad we found this place. - Jean
