Mike and Jane took a trip to Aruba to a resort that offered cosmetic surgery. Jane received a face lift and lipo suction at the resort. The round-trip airfare for each was $1,500. Jane's medical procedures cost $8,500. Their stay at the resort cost $5,000 for the week which included $1,500 of nursing services. All these expenses were paid outofpocket by the Cool's, not using the health savings account- While in Aruba, Mike came down with a deadly virus that permanently damaged his heart and caused an odd disgurement to his face.

Round trip airfare to Minnesota for each was $2,500. The cost for the surgery and hospital stay was $25,000. All of which they paid ont-of-pocket, not using the health savings account. After reuniting home, Mike struggled with going up and down the stairs in their three-story home. He became weaker the more he used the stairs- He paid a visit to his family doctor. His doctor told him that if he continued to exert himself in that manner, his heart would give out. His doctor recommended moving to a single level house or installing an elevator in his current 1 home. The Cools decided to install an elevator in their current home for Mike's use. The cost of the elevator and installation was $15,000- Their electricity bill increased by $30 a month (beginning in June) as a result of the elevator usage. Elevator maintenance cost for the year was $300. Fortunately, the elevator increased the value of their home by $5,000. Other medical expenses incurred out-of-pocket by Mike and Jane consisted of various over-the- counter medicines in the amount of $500 and a wheelchair for Mike costing $1,500.

They donated clothing and household articles to their local Deseret Industries on June 5th. All items were in excellent condition. They estimated the items cost them around $8,000 and are worth $800 using thrift store values. They also gave $500 to a family down the sheet that seemed to be nancially struggling.
