Baton Rouge
Randall was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly in September. The surgeon at Saint Joseph Hospital recommended ACL reconstruction, and He is scheduled for December. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $4,650, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $3,500 short. my father has been in and out of Saint Joseph Hospital since September. The doctors say a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without ACL reconstruction. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $4,650 is more than we can find. While we wait, Randall struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. 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 8 weeks. During that time Randall won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, 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 $3,500 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $410 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,850 • Travel and lodging for the family: $520 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $430 • Post-operative medication: $290 With deep gratitude, Jade
