Donation protected
STORY IN SPANISH (English is Below):

Hola a todos,

Nuestra abuela Beatriz (mejor conocida como Abu, tia Betty, abuelita Beatriz) , de 90 anos de edad, se cayo el fin de semana en su hogar ubicado en Caracas - Venezuela y se fracturo la cadera. Como veran en el informe medico y las radiografias que se adjuntan, el diagnostico es: fractura de fémur derecho.

Debido a su avanzada edad (90 años cumplira el 14 Sep) y las complicaciones médicas asociadas, los médicos han recomendado una cirugía de emergencia para colocar una prótesis de cadera bipolar cementada.

De acuerdo a los presupuestos obtenidos en diversas instituciones publicas y semi-privadas (las opciones mas economicas y mas confiables)) con disponibilidad de quirofano inmediata, los costos approximados estan alrededor de $5,000 USD (equivalente casi a $8,000 AUD). He adjuntado el presupuesto mas completo como referencia:

  • Este presupuesto incluye: examenes pre-operatorios, cirugia (honorarios medicos minimos), protesis y 1 dia de hospitalizacion y medicamentos.
  • Este presupuesto NO incluye: costos extra si hay complicaciones que requieran cuidado intensivo, rehabilitacion, cuidado post-operatorio, medicamentos post-operatorios.

Sabemos que nuestra abuela es apresiada y querida por muchos y por ello hemos decidido crear esta pagina. Su hijo, nietos y familia agradecemos de corazón cualquier contribución que puedan hacer para ayudarnos a cubrir los gastos de su cirugía, cuidado post-operatorio, medicamentos y rehabilitación relacionados con esta emergencia.

A continuación compartiré imagenes de las radiografias, informe médico, presupuesto y una foto de ella. Hemos removido algunos datos del presupuesto por razones de privacidad.

STORY IN ENGLISH

Hi everyone:

Our grandmother Beatriz, (better known as Abu, tia Betty, abuelita Beatriz), of 90 years of age, fell at her home in Caracas, Venezuela over the weekend and fractured her hip. As you can see in the attached medical report and X-rays, the diagnosis is: fracture of the right femur.

Due to her advanced age (she will turn 90 on September 14) and associated medical complications, the doctors have recommended emergency surgery to place a cemented bipolar hip prosthesis.

Based on estimates obtained from various public and semi-private institutions (the most affordable and reliable options) with immediate operating room availability, the approximate costs are around USD $5,000 (equivalent to nearly AUD $8,000). I’ve attached the most detailed estimate as a reference.

  • This estimate INCLUDES: pre-operative tests, surgery (including basic medical fees), the prosthesis, one day of hospitalization, and medications for only one day in hospital.
  • This estimate DOES NOT INCLUDE: additional costs in case of complications requiring intensive care, rehabilitation, post-operative care, or post-operative medications.

We know our grandmother is deeply loved and cherished by many, and that’s why we have decided to create this page. Her son, grandkids and family would appreciate any contribution you can make to help us cover the expenses for her surgery, post-operative care, medication, and rehabilitation, related to this emergency.

Below, I will share images of her X-rays, the medical report, the budget estimate, and a photo of her. We have hidden some details in the budget for privacy reasons.
