Cia Edmonds posted on Monday morning that her daughter was undergoing her fifth surgery.<\/p>\n
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\u2019s last surgery.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis past week her head (where the missing flap is), had swollen, deflated, and swollen again,\u201d Edmonds wrote.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is very hard to watch, especially when we don\u2019t really know why.\u201d<\/p>\n
Edmonds also said that every day, for the past few weeks, Maya has been vomiting for no apparent reason.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe brain is a mystery,\u201d she wrote.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is high hopes that, this new prosthetic barrier will enforce increased pressure to minimize cerebral fluid flow\u2026 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.\u201d<\/p>\n
Edmonds said that maybe her daughter will smile.<\/p>\n
