Sebastian was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal in July. The surgeon at Arlington Regional Medical Center recommended ACL reconstruction, and He is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $4,200, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $2,100 short. my father has been in and out of Arlington Regional Medical Center since July. The doctors say a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without ACL reconstruction. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $4,200 is more than we can find. While we wait, Sebastian 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. Recovery is expected to take about 8 weeks. During that time Sebastian won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $2,100 goes: • Post-operative medication: $320 • Physiotherapy sessions: $970 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $640 • Travel and lodging for the family: $170 Thanks for being kind about this.
