Seoul
Yun-seo was diagnosed with gallstones with repeated infections in August. The surgeon at Seoul General Hospital recommended valve repair surgery, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $4,400, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $3,300 short. my wife has been in and out of Seoul General Hospital since August. The doctors say gallstones with repeated infections will get worse without valve repair surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $4,400 is more than we can find. While we wait, Yun-seo struggles with daily life and can't climb stairs. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 6 weeks. During that time Yun-seo won't be able to climb stairs, 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 $3,300 goes: • Post-operative medication: $240 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $730 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $470 • Physiotherapy sessions: $460 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,400 Thank you so much.

    Gave what I could, wish it was more. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Çankaya.
