The family of 12-year-old Maya Gabala, the survivor of that shooting in Tumblr Ridge, is still hanging tight in Canada. Maya's mom, Sia Edmonds, dropped the latest on her Facebook page, saying the process to move for treatment hasn't been smooth, but they'll announce. Any changes first. They accepted an offer from UFC boss Dana White to cover care and stand-loss Angeles, with top spots there, or in Houston and Seattle on the table. For now, though, Maya is at BC Children's Hospital in Vancouver, making steady gains in her recovery. Edmonds shared that Dr. Stop Maya might never speak again, but she's proving them wrong every step. The kids showing real grit, pulling out her feeding tube three times on her own, and she's got a new G-tube straight to her stomach while working on. Swallowing? Upcoming on May 5th, Maya has surgery lined up for a prosthetic skull cap to help with fluid build-up and eye pressure. Her motor skills are kicking in too. She watches her fingers move, squeezes hands with effort, and even wiggles toes when tickled,

despite right side. Issues like a stroke, meanwhile, watch off her fakes, Edmonds warned about phony accounts spreading lies, and her husband, David, said his profiles got hacked with scam. Messages asking for cash. The family's strength through all this is straight fire, pushing forward no matter what. Canada news today, powered by AI bringing you what matters.
