The family of the Missouri teen who suffered severe brain injuries after being attacked has said that a part of her skull has been removed to help with recovery.
Kaylee Gain, 16, from St. Louis, was left in a life-threatening condition by Maurnice DeClue, 15, who allegedly smashed her head into concrete during a violent altercation.
Kaylee suffered a skull fracture and frontal lobe damage during the violent March 8 brawl that was caught on camera near her high school but has since been released from the intensive care unit.
Clint and Jaime Gain, the victim's parents have shared an update about her health and said she is now at home, after her long hospitalization and two weeks at in-patient rehabilitation facility but still has 'a long road ahead.'
On her GoFundMe page, the family's attorney revealed that a part of the teen's skull had to be removed to 'relieve the pressure on her brain' and she now needs to 'wear a custom helmet.'
'While hospitalized, Kaylee underwent a craniectomy, which is a neurosurgical procedure that involved removing a portion of Kaylee’s skull in order to relieve the pressure on her brain.
'The portion of Kaylee’s skull that was removed still has not been put back in place. Ever since Kaylee underwent this procedure it has been necessary for her to wear a custom helmet in order to protect her brain in the event of a fall.
'Kaylee is scheduled to undergo an additional surgery to reattach this portion of her skull which will require yet another hospitalization,' attorney Bryan M. Kaemmerer wrote.
Her family also said that the young teen has been experiencing short-term memory loss and will be undergoing extensive neuropsychological testing to determine the long-term impact of her injuries on her cognitive function.

Allegedly? You can see her do it on video and hear the victim’s skull crack.
Do your best to avoid the ghetto degenerates. It could be you.
That is the best advice: If you don’t go there you are not gonna be an “innocent bystander.”
Letting your child attend a public school is child abuse.
Yeah. This is what I hate about media. Seems like you can’t get the truth on ANYTHING!
