Thierry was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly in March. The surgeon at Boulogne-Billancourt General Hospital recommended palate reconstruction surgery, and He is scheduled for July. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $13,000, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $6,550 short.
my son has been in and out of Boulogne-Billancourt General Hospital since March. The doctors say a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without palate reconstruction surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $13,000 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Thierry 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 Thierry 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 $6,550 goes:
• Hospital stay (4 nights): $2,650
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,650
• Physiotherapy sessions: $440
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $500
• Travel and lodging for the family: $310
Thank you for reading my story.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Thierry
Thinking of you, René. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Blessings.
