Journal entry by Erina Love —
Hello dear friends and family. Thank you all for your support. I am now posting updates regarding Arna's condition and our journey on my FB page as things change quickly and warrant more frequent updates.
We are still requesting donations as our expenses continue to increase. Below is a breakdown of how this health crisis along with the mold issue has impacted us financially. Any support is greatly appreciated.
1. Medical expenses for Erina and Arna will total between $15,000 and $22,000 depending on if Arna is discharged in 2021 or 2022. His "due date" was January 9th and often babies need to stay in the NICU until or slightly later than their due date to ensure adequate development. If he needs to stay in the NICU into 2022 we will hit our yearly out-of-pocket maximum within days.
2. Accommodations during Arna's stay at UC Davis Medical Center: at least $5500
3. Dog/Cat sitters & House Sitters for 3.5 months: at least $7000
4. Gas for Sahuna to go back and forth from home: at least $2000
5. Not to mention the unexpected $30,000 we spent on the mold remediation project.
