What added up for us were the costs of visiting. The hospital was about 30 miles away, and we eventually figured out that each trip cost $13 in gas, tolls, and parking (the hospital charged $3 for all parking). That added up fast. But you do what you've got to do, you know?

I hope all goes well for you, OP.
