Dwi was diagnosed with a deviated septum causing chronic infections in August. The surgeon at Bandung University Hospital recommended emergency hernia repair, and He is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $930, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $650 short. my father has been in and out of Bandung University Hospital since August. The doctors say a deviated septum causing chronic infections will get worse without emergency hernia repair. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $930 is more than we can find. While we wait, Dwi struggles with daily life and can't drive. 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 5 weeks. During that time Dwi won't be able to drive, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $650 goes: โ€ข Physiotherapy sessions: $80 โ€ข Post-operative medication: $35 โ€ข Travel and lodging for the family: $60 โ€ข Hospital stay (3 nights): $475 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
