Chandler
Pedro was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst in January. The surgeon at Chandler University Hospital recommended valve repair surgery, and He is scheduled for April. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $14,250, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $8,500 short. my father has been in and out of Chandler University Hospital since January. The doctors say a large ovarian cyst will get worse without valve repair surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $14,250 is more than we can find. While we wait, Pedro 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 10 weeks. During that time Pedro won't be able to climb stairs, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $8,500 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $4,150 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $2,400 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $680 • Post-operative medication: $160 • Physiotherapy sessions: $640 • Travel and lodging for the family: $470 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
