Wambui was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction in June. The surgeon at Eldoret Regional Medical Center recommended spinal decompression surgery, and She is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,400, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $1,100 short. my sister has been in and out of Eldoret Regional Medical Center since June. The doctors say a torn ligament that needs reconstruction will get worse without spinal decompression surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,400 is more than we can find. While we wait, Wambui struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. 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 8 weeks. During that time Wambui won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, 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 $1,100 goes: β€’ Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $580 β€’ Hospital stay (5 nights): $270 β€’ Pre-operative tests and imaging: $100 β€’ Post-operative medication: $50 β€’ Physiotherapy sessions: $70 β€’ Travel and lodging for the family: $30 Thanks for being kind about this.
