Saint-Denis
Monique was diagnosed with a hernia that has become strangulated in July. The surgeon at Saint-Denis Orthopedic Institute recommended septoplasty, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $8,500, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $6,700 short. my daughter has been in and out of Saint-Denis Orthopedic Institute since July. The doctors say a hernia that has become strangulated will get worse without septoplasty. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $8,500 is more than we can find. While we wait, Monique struggles with daily life and can't drive. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Recovery is expected to take about 5 weeks. During that time Monique won't be able to drive, 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 $6,700 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,550 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $2,800 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $320 • Post-operative medication: $155 • Physiotherapy sessions: $530 • Travel and lodging for the family: $345 Thanks for being kind about this.
