Michelle was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction in August. The surgeon at Savannah Regional Medical Center recommended septoplasty, and She is scheduled for October. 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 $5,850 short. my mother has been in and out of Savannah Regional Medical Center since August. The doctors say a torn ligament that needs reconstruction will get worse without septoplasty. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $8,250 is more than we can find. While we wait, Michelle struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. 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 12 weeks. During that time Michelle 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 $5,850 goes: โ€ข Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,550 โ€ข Hospital stay (4 nights): $1,250 โ€ข Pre-operative tests and imaging: $390 โ€ข Post-operative medication: $260 โ€ข Physiotherapy sessions: $970 โ€ข Travel and lodging for the family: $430 Thanks for reading all this. - Gianna
