Surgery fund for Fabian: knee replacement surgery in Berlin

Fabian was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly in November. The surgeon at Berlin Regional Medical Center recommended knee replacement surgery, and He is scheduled for March. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $7,750, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $5,350 short. my son has been in and out of Berlin Regional Medical Center since November. The doctors say a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without knee replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $7,750 is more than we can find. While we wait, Fabian struggles with daily life and can't climb stairs. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Recovery is expected to take about 12 weeks. During that time Fabian won't be able to climb stairs, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $5,350 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,750 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $1,950 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $520 • Post-operative medication: $380 • Physiotherapy sessions: $380 • Travel and lodging for the family: $370 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Sophia
