Wilfredo was diagnosed with a deviated septum causing chronic infections in July. The surgeon at Saint Francis Hospital recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and He is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,250, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $750 short. my brother has been in and out of Saint Francis Hospital since July. The doctors say a deviated septum causing chronic infections will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,250 is more than we can find. While we wait, Wilfredo 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 3 weeks. During that time Wilfredo 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 $750 goes: • Post-operative medication: $70 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $310 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $370 Thanks for reading all this.
