Maya's Resilience: A Tough Infection Setback

0:00A 12-year-old girl from the February 10th mass shooting in Tumblr Ridge, British Columbia, has faced a major setback in her recovery. Maya Gabala was critically injured when a gunman killed seven people, wounded dozens more, and then took his own life. Last week, she had her fourth surgery at BC Children's Hospital to fit a prosthetic piece into her skull at the bullet wound site. Unfortunately, an infection hit hard and derailed her progress. Her mother, Sia Edmonds, posted an emotional update online, explaining how sheer grit keeps Maya going amid these tough infections. She shared her longing for a normal life where she can set goals and show her daughters the power of perseverance. Maya still can't speak or move her right side, but she manages her left hand and leg and locks eyes with her mom using her unindered one. She's been in the hospital steadily since the attack. These family updates remind us how resilience shines through tragedy as Maya and her loved ones fight on step by step. From your city, powered by AI, this is Vancouver News Today.
