Maya Gebala, 12, one of the survivors and heroes of the Tumbler Ridge massacre, still cannot breathe on her own, but her mother says her swelling is lessening.

   

Maya was trying to lock the door of the library to save the kids from the shooter, but she had to leave the door and hide under a table. She was shot in the head and neck and later evacuated to the BC Children’s Hospital where she remains in critical condition.

 

“The swelling is going down,” her mother Cia Edmonds posted on her Facebook page late Thursday. But she recognized the road ahead will be long and hard.

“Not a huge update, swelling is going down, the doctor keeps layering on the worst news ever. And I put my foot down, I cannot hear the worst of the worst every hour..

Not when I SEE CHANGE.

There’s still such a long road for my Maya moon..

There is still a bullet in her.

There is still shards in her brains..
