Mamie Laverock, the 19-year-old actress known for her role in Hallmark Channel’s “When Calls the Heart,” is continuing her recovery after a harrowing fall from a five-story balcony. Her family recently shared a new photo on Facebook, showing her hand hooked up to an IV and clutching a plush toy bear, a small but poignant symbol of her ongoing battle.
The fall, which occurred on May 26, left Laverock in critical condition. She was initially on life support and has since undergone multiple extensive surgeries. Her family has been providing regular updates on her condition through a GoFundMe page set up to help cover her medical expenses. The latest update reveals that while she is still in “tremendous pain,” she is showing signs of improvement.
“Mamie is doing well compared to when she first arrived,” the family wrote. “She has survived extensive surgeries and is enduring tremendous pain but continues to fight every day.”
The family expressed their gratitude for the support and prayers they have received, emphasizing the small miracles they witness daily. “Our daughter loves her life and her family and is fighting hard every day,” they added.
Laverock, who portrayed Rosaleen Sullivan on “When Calls the Heart,” was initially admitted to the hospital for a medical emergency on May 11. The tragic fall happened while she was being escorted around the facility. The family has hinted at possible legal action against St. Paul’s Hospital in Vancouver, where the incident occurred, citing negligence.
“This is an absolute miracle, and there will be accountability,” said her mother, Nicole Rockmann. “All we care about is that Mamie can make a recovery, that she’s alive, and that she’s fighting.”
Hallmark Media also released a statement expressing their sorrow and support for Laverock and her family. “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,” the statement read.
Other cast members from “When Calls the Heart” have also shown their support. Johannah Newmarch, who plays Laverock’s onscreen mother, Molly Sullivan, urged fans to donate to the GoFundMe page. “I love this wonderful family so much, and my heart is broken. Such a devastating time for them and all who care deeply for sweet Mamie. Please help if you can,” she wrote on social media.
Co-star Erin Krakow also encouraged donations, sharing the GoFundMe link on her Instagram page. “I just donated. If you have the means to do so, I hope you will too,” she wrote.
The GoFundMe page has raised a significant amount towards its goal, reflecting the outpouring of support from fans and the community. The funds are crucial for covering the extensive medical treatments Laverock requires.
In a recent update, Rockmann shared that her daughter had opened her eyes for the first time since the fall. “Let’s just hope this is the turnaround and she’s going to get through this now. I couldn’t be happier that people reached out and cared,” she told the Los Angeles Times.
Despite the severe injuries, Laverock has shown remarkable resilience. Her mother noted that while she is in “tremendous pain,” she is aware and able to squeeze her hand. However, she requires sedation to manage the pain and aid in her recovery.
The family remains hopeful and grateful for the medical team’s efforts. “We have nothing but gratitude for the doctors and nurses who have been exemplary in her care since May 26,” they wrote in a GoFundMe update.
As Laverock continues her recovery, her family and fans hold onto hope and the small victories that mark her journey back to health. The shared photo of her holding a teddy bear serves as a touching reminder of her strength and the love that surrounds her.
