Todd was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction in July. The surgeon at Corpus Christi Regional Medical Center recommended septoplasty, and He is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $16,000, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $9,600 short.
my son has been in and out of Corpus Christi Regional Medical Center since July. The doctors say a torn ligament that needs reconstruction will get worse without septoplasty. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $16,000 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Todd struggles with daily life and can't walk without help. 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 12 weeks. During that time Todd won't be able to walk without help, 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 $9,600 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $4,050
• Hospital stay (4 nights): $3,850
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $410
• Post-operative medication: $330
• Physiotherapy sessions: $640
• Travel and lodging for the family: $320
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Wishing you peace, Rebecca. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. All the best.
