US EditionMaya Gebala's mom hopes 5th surgery on Tumbler Ridge, B.C., victim could be her last
Maya Gebala’s mother says the prosthetic skull surgery aims to ease brain swelling and may be her last after the 12-year-old was shot three times.
- On Monday, Cia Edmonds announced her daughter Maya Gebala is undergoing her fifth surgery in Tumbler Ridge, with surgeons installing a prosthetic skull piece. Edmonds said "if all goes well," it will be her last.
- The 12-year-old was shot three times during the Feb. 10 attack in Tumbler Ridge that claimed eight lives. Police identified the shooter as 18-year-old Jesse Van Rootselaar, who killed family members before attacking the school.
- Surgeons aim to install a prosthetic barrier to address brain swelling where the skull is missing. Edmonds hopes this will regulate cerebral fluid flow and release pressure from Maya's left eye, potentially allowing her to smile again.
- Krysta Hunt organized a GoFundMe campaign supporting the family during Maya's recovery process. The community continues monitoring updates as the 12-year-old faces this significant medical milestone.
- While brain swelling remains a critical concern, the prosthetic device offers a pathway to stabilize pressure on Maya's brain. The family remains hopeful this intervention will mark the final surgical step in her difficult road to recovery.
