Surgery fund for Owen: cataract surgery in Birmingham

Owen was diagnosed with a deviated septum causing chronic infections in July. The surgeon at Birmingham Regional Medical Center recommended cataract surgery, and He is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $6,250, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $4,450 short. my husband has been in and out of Birmingham Regional Medical Center since July. The doctors say a deviated septum causing chronic infections will get worse without cataract surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $6,250 is more than we can find. While we wait, Owen struggles with daily life and can't climb stairs. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 4 weeks. During that time Owen won't be able to climb stairs, 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 $4,450 goes: • Hospital stay (2 nights): $2,000 • Post-operative medication: $190 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,260 Glad we found this place.
