Lệ was diagnosed with an aortic valve defect in August. The surgeon at Hồ Chí Minh City Regional Medical Center recommended valve repair surgery, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $2,000, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $1,200 short. my wife has been in and out of Hồ Chí Minh City Regional Medical Center since August. The doctors say an aortic valve defect will get worse without valve repair surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $2,000 is more than we can find. While we wait, Lệ struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. The recovery period is expected to take about 5 weeks. During that time Lệ won't be able to work a full shift, 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 $1,200 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $450 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $490 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $70 • Post-operative medication: $40 • Physiotherapy sessions: $80 • Travel and lodging for the family: $70 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
