Tumbler Ridge, B.C., shooting victim, Maya Gebala, could have undergone her last surgery on Monday, according to an update posted by her mother on Facebook.
Cia Edmonds posted on Monday morning that her daughter was undergoing her fifth surgery.
She said that if it all goes well, she will receive her prosthetic skull piece and if it all goes great, it could be Maya’s last surgery.
“This past week her head (where the missing flap is), had swollen, deflated, and swollen again,” Edmonds wrote.
“It is very hard to watch, especially when we don’t really know why.”
Edmonds also said that every day, for the past few weeks, Maya has been vomiting for no apparent reason.
“The brain is a mystery,” she wrote.

“It is high hopes that, this new prosthetic barrier will enforce increased pressure to minimize cerebral fluid flow… It is the highest hope, that this will all regulate itself in time.. and as a result, release some pressure from her eye *maybe it will open* as well as relieving pressure around the rest of her face.”
Edmonds said that maybe her daughter will smile.

A few weeks ago, UFC president Dana White spoke about the treatment plan for Maya.
Maya’s family has confirmed they have taken up White’s offer to cover the cost of specialized treatment for her care in the United States. 
I know most if not all of Canada have good thoughts and Prayers for Maya, and your family. She is such a strong willed girl, it gives us all hope, Keep doing you Maya!!
Thank you for keeping us all up-to-date on what is going on with Maya.
Seems like we all have adopted this strong willed girl.
Prayers and Blessings for that Precious little girl. :)
Theres a special place in 4311 for the shooter and people like they/them.
All my best and prayers for a speedy recovery.
Maya is a fighter. I think it’s great that Dana White reached out. I know he did it because he cares and because he is able to make this happen for her and that is his only motive. God bless Maya and work through the care that Dana is caring and giving enough to undertake arranging.
GOD BLESS U MAYA🙏
Did the Indians allow this? Nothing happens in this province without Indian concert after all.
