This particular situ- ation ... it became rapidly very severe and I guess her immune systems was not able to combat it in the normal way,” said Madill. Madill, whose comments were restricted by patent confidentiality rules, said Yoshioko is joked up to a mechanical ventilator which breathes for her through 2 tube inserted in her airway. Although Yoshioko is still severely ill, her condition has improved from what it was in her first few weeks in hospital. Mayo said Yoshioko responds and recog- nizes people but she is heavily sedated. Her odds of surviving have increased from an esti- mated 10% when she arrived in intensive care to 50% today, he said. Mykiko, who spends seven hours a day at the hospital, said her daughter nodded and cried when her father left to return to Japan last week. When Teijt Yoshioko told his daughter, a long-time volleyball player, that she is strong mentally and physically and to fight her illness, $200,000 tears came to her eyes, said Mykiko. Yoshioko’s long stay in intensive care has not come without a price. Until March 5, Yoshioko’s bill in the Intensive Care Unit increased $3,706 a day. Since then, the hospi- tal has decreased the rab to $1,069 per day — the same amount a non-Canadian resident would pay for a standard room. Her total bill is approaching $200,000. Her insurance paid $33,000 and the family has paid about $40,000 that was earmarked for Yoshioko’s wedding. If the Yoshiokos sold their home, they could pay for two months of hospital bills. Said North Shore Health Region chief financial officer Tom Stevens: “They are an honorable family. They’re trying‘to pay their bills and there’s insurance involved but this bill is escalating at such an extent I looked to see if there was something I could do,” he said of the fee reduction. To raise funds to help pay for the hospital expenses, two North Shore residents are sct- ting up a bank account for donations. When the account is established, the News will pub- licize the details.
