Surgery fund for Leif: a craniotomy in Stockholm
A scheduled a craniotomy in October is out of reach without help covering $6,550 of the cost.
🇸🇪 Stockholm, Sweden5,006 views
Leif was diagnosed with a herniated spinal disc in August. The surgeon at Stockholm University Hospital recommended a craniotomy, and He is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $9,250, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $6,550 short.
my father has been in and out of Stockholm University Hospital since August. The doctors say a herniated spinal disc will get worse without a craniotomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $9,250 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Leif struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. 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 10 weeks. During that time Leif won't be able to look after the children alone, 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 $6,550 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $3,100
• Hospital stay (5 nights): $1,950
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $560
• Post-operative medication: $200
• Physiotherapy sessions: $340
• Travel and lodging for the family: $400
Glad we found this place.
