Update: My health is stable for the moment, I have constant chest pressure and minor pain most of the time. The pain level increases and decreases throughout the day and evening.

We might be able to catch a break on the hospital and/or professional fees, we wont know that until it’s happening or just after. Probably in the range of 10 to 30k pesos tops. We were told to prepare 400,000 pesos. The hospital is not willing to admit me unless material and hardware costs are covered in advance. Thats 188,089 pesos minimum up front cost.

My wife and I want to thank those of you, who have contributed so far , you guys are awesome. It means a everything to us … you have our heartfelt thanks …
