By Movieguide® Contributor
WHEN CALLS THE HEART actress Mamie Laverock is “doing well” following a fall from a five-story balcony.
“We have nothing but gratitude for the doctors and nurses who have been exemplary in her care since May 26,” her parents wrote in an update on a GoFundMe page. “Mamie is ‘doing well’ comparatively to when she arrived — Doing well because she has survived these extensive surgeries.”
They continued, “She is enduring tremendous pain and continues to not give up. We can only hold onto the miracles of each day and continue to thank everyone for their prayers and marvel at the miracles of her story. Our daughter loves her life and loves her family and is fighting hard everyday.”
Movieguide® previously reported on Laverock’s fall:
Mamie Laverock, who plays Rosaleen Sullivan on WHEN CALLS THE HEART, needs prayer after a fall from a five-story balcony has left her on life support.
Laverock’s GoFundMe page explains that the actress was originally taken to the hospital for a “medical emergency” on May 11.
“Nicole [Laverock’s mother] was able to get there in time to save her life,” it reads. “Then got her to a hospital in Winnipeg. Mamie has since been transferred to Hospital here in Vancouver. Her recovery is unclear at this time but she is alive and is showing signs of improvement.”
However, on May 26, after she was admitted to the hospital, the 19-year-old “was escorted out of a secure unit of the hospital and taken up to a balcony walkway from which she fell five stories. She sustained life threatening injuries, has undergone multiple extensive surgeries, and is currently on life support,” an update from her parents reads.
Laverock’s mother told the L.A. Times that her survival was “an absolute miracle,” adding, “All we care about is that Mamie can make a recovery and that she’s alive and that she’s fighting and that she’s strong. It’s unbelievable that she’s with us.”
Hallmark released a statement about Laverock’s condition, saying, “We are deeply saddened to hear the news about Mamie. As a beloved member of our WHEN CALLS THE HEART community, we wish her and her family peace, comfort and many prayers during this difficult time.”
