"We found a neurosurgeon in Houston, Texas who regularly removes these pineal cysts in people who experience symptoms like Evan, and after meeting with him a few weeks ago, the doctor has set a surgery date this May to remove the cyst," his older sister, Sarah, tells PTBOCanada.
The family is relieved they have found an answer to this problem, but the surgery is not covered here in Canada. So the Little family has to pay $100,000 to $200,000 themselves to foot the bill for Evan's surgery. Evan's parents, Brenda and Paul, are re-mortgaging their home to pay for his surgery.
"My parents are doing everything it takes to help Evan get his life back," Sarah tells PTBOCanada.
