Please Help Cover Khan's ER Bill
Donation protected
Khan had had such an amazing day at the beach, enjoying the water for the first time and swimming to his heart's desire with those little legs of his. However, on the drive home, I noticed that he was starting to wheeze and by the time we got home he was having trouble breathing. I immediately googled his symptoms and was worried he might be dry drowning, so I took him to the ER.
They decided to watch him for a while because they agreed that his rapid breathing was concerning. Soon after, they took some images of his chest and sent bloodwork to the lab. Thankfully, he didn't have any water in his lungs but the tests showed signs of dehydration and his breathing rate was still too high. We decided to keep him overnight at the ER so that he could receive supplemental oxygen and fluids. By the next day, he was doing much better and was able to come home in the evening with instructions for complete rest for the next few days.
Unfortunately, with all of the testing and inpatient care he received his bill came out to be close to $2,000. Khan does not have insurance which means I have to cover the whole cost. But being a teacher who doesn't get paid during the summer, this is a pretty large amount for me to try to cover on my own. I am so sorry to have to ask for help, but any amount (no matter how small or big) will be so helpful. Thank you so much for all your support and love for Khan!
