Surgery fund for Janet: cataract surgery in Rockford

Janet was diagnosed with a deviated septum causing chronic infections in June. The surgeon at Saint Luke Hospital recommended cataract surgery, and She is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $8,250, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $6,650 short. my daughter has been in and out of Saint Luke Hospital since June. The doctors say a deviated septum causing chronic infections will get worse without cataract surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $8,250 is more than we can find. While we wait, Janet struggles with daily life and can't climb stairs. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 3 weeks. During that time Janet won't be able to climb stairs, 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 $6,650 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,650 • Travel and lodging for the family: $240 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $2,650 • Post-operative medication: $200 • Physiotherapy sessions: $910 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Julian
