Nina was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal in August. The surgeon at Amsterdam Regional Medical Center recommended knee replacement surgery, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $8,000, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $6,000 short.
my mother has been in and out of Amsterdam Regional Medical Center since August. The doctors say a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without knee replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $8,000 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Nina 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.
The recovery period is expected to take about 5 weeks. During that time Nina won't be able to look after the children alone, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $6,000 goes:
• Hospital stay (5 nights): $1,450
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $3,400
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $280
• Travel and lodging for the family: $360
• Physiotherapy sessions: $510

Take care, Cornelis. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Jakarta Selatan.
Take care, Cornelis. Hope the doctors have good news. My neighbor in Nsukka donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from Nsukka.
Sending strength, Cornelis. This could happen to any of us. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it
