Surgery fund for Eko: septoplasty in Denpasar

Eko was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal in November. The surgeon at Denpasar Regional Medical Center recommended septoplasty, and He is scheduled for February. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $800, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $600 short. my father has been in and out of Denpasar Regional Medical Center since November. The doctors say a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without septoplasty. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $800 is more than we can find. While we wait, Eko struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. 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 8 weeks. During that time Eko won't be able to work a full shift, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $600 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $75 • Post-operative medication: $50 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $475 Glad we found this place. - Andi
