Trang was diagnosed with an aortic valve defect in August. The surgeon at Hồ Chí Minh City University Hospital recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,250, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $950 short.
my daughter has been in and out of Hồ Chí Minh City University Hospital since August. The doctors say an aortic valve defect will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,250 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Trang struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
The recovery period is expected to take about 12 weeks. During that time Trang won't be able to look after the children alone, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $950 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $410
• Hospital stay (5 nights): $250
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $80
• Post-operative medication: $25
• Physiotherapy sessions: $135
• Travel and lodging for the family: $50
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
