WCTH Actress Takes First Steps in Miraculous Recovery: ‘Thank You Lord’
By Movieguide® Contributor
WHEN CALLS THE HEART actress Mamie Laverock is slowly making her way towards recovery after falling from a five-story balcony earlier this year.
Movieguide® previously reported:
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.
Several months after her fall, Laverock has taken her first steps.
An update on the young actress’s condition was released and shared via Fox News Digital. The update said, “Thank you surgeon’s, thank you prayers, thank you Lord. Mamie has just taken her first steps.”
The update was accompanied by a since-deleted video of Laverock walking.
“As the video began, Laverock was sitting on a hospital bed with a patch over her left eye and both of her feet encased in aircast boots as two family members stood behind her before joining others who were behind the camera,” the New York Post reported.
“Here’s to standing,” she said, adding that she felt a little wobbly. She even took a few steps forward.
Laverock’s family also posted an update on their GoFundMe page that expressed their gratitude to everyone who donated after the family had hit their goal.
The update reads:
Thank you so much. I don’t even know what to say. My heart is full.
Thank you again.
I have no words to describe my gratitude.
Love you guys.Thank you.
MAMIEThe Fund has now closed. Please know how much you helped this family in our hardest circumstances. Thank you for caring.
Warmth, Nicole and Rob
