Isaiah was diagnosed with a cleft palate needing repair in April. The surgeon at Saint Joseph Hospital recommended hip replacement surgery, and He is scheduled for August. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $10,250, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $5,150 short.
my son has been in and out of Saint Joseph Hospital since April. The doctors say a cleft palate needing repair will get worse without hip replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $10,250 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Isaiah struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. 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 Isaiah won't be able to lift anything heavy, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $5,150 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,150
• Physiotherapy sessions: $760
• Hospital stay (3 nights): $1,700
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $540
Thanks for reading all this.

Thinking of you, Sophia. Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Tampa.
Thinking of you and your family. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
How is Isaiah doing now?
So sorry you're going through this, Sophia. Get well soon. Thinking of Tampa.
Hang in there. Get well soon. Greetings from Rochester.
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Tampa.
Thinking of you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Stay strong, Sophia. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I have a 10 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from Ankara.
