Maya walked through a walker since the age of one, but she wanted to walk independently. Then, in March, after extensive research and meetings, her family traveled with her to the St. Louis Children's Hospital of Missouri, where she underwent surgery called selective dorsal rhizotomy.

According to the family's website, the surgery was designed to "permanently reduce Maya's spasticity, giving her the ability to live with less pain and greater mobility". The mother says that after the operation, Maya's doctor had told them that she could walk "someday," but not without a daily and exhausting physical therapy.
