Mamie Laverock’s Family Gives New Update, Says Her Body Was ‘Shattered’
“When Calls the Heart” actress Mamie Laverock, 19, is continuing to heal following a five-story fall at a hospital in Vancouver.
Her mother Nicole Rockman told the L.A. Times, “Mamie just opened her eyes. 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. The story will be told.”
She said that following the accident, her daughter's body was "shattered," causing "tremendous pain." Mamie is "aware" and was able to squeeze her mom's hand. Due to her injuries, however, doctors are keeping her sedated.
Rockman went on to clarify that the fall was never "intended" and was not a suicide attempt. The family does plan to take legal action against the hospital where the fall took place. Laverock has since been moved to another medical facility.
Her family also posted a GoFundMe update over the weekend, sharing new details about her injuries and surgeries, and clarifying their earlier statement that she was “doing well.”
In their latest post, Mamie’s loved ones wrote, “Her body has been shattered. She has undergone two 11 hour surgeries with two doctors working on her, a three hour surgery and another surgery today. We have nothing but gratitude for the doctors and nurses who have been exemplary in her care since May 26.”

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.”
Last week, Mamie’s family revealed that the actress was taken to a hospital in Winnipeg, Canada, on May 11, after a “medical emergency.” Her mom had been “able to get there in time to save her life.”
Laverock was then transferred to a hospital in Vancouver, Canada, and was expected to stay “upwards of a month or more.” Though details of her recovery were “unclear,” the GoFundMe noted that “she was alive and is showing signs of improvement.”
However, things later got worse.
