Wolfgang was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal in June. The surgeon at Wiesbaden General Hospital recommended ACL reconstruction, and He is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $7,000, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $3,550 short. my son has been in and out of Wiesbaden General Hospital since June. The doctors say a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without ACL reconstruction. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $7,000 is more than we can find. While we wait, Wolfgang struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. 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 10 weeks. During that time Wolfgang won't be able to lift anything heavy, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $3,550 goes: โ€ข Post-operative medication: $125 โ€ข Hospital stay (5 nights): $2,700 โ€ข Physiotherapy sessions: $490 โ€ข Travel and lodging for the family: $235 Thanks for being kind about this. - Anton
