Mamie Laverock 'Survived Her Injuries' But Has a 'Long' Road to Recovery After Balcony Fall, Shares Actress' Mom
Actress Mamie Laverock's mom provided another update on the teen's status after she "shattered her body" falling off a balcony last month.
"Thank you for your healing messages for Mamie," her mother wrote in a Wednesday, June 26, Facebook post. "Mamie survived her injuries, however her road to recovery will be long."
"I will be setting up a mailbox for all of your cards and well wishes shortly," she concluded.
As OK! reported, the 19-year-old's health crisis began on May 11 when she suffered a "medical emergency" and went to a hospital. At the time, she was "showing signs of improvement" — however, things took a turn for the worse a couple of weeks later.
"We are deeply saddened to report that on May 26th, Mamie, who has been in intensive treatment for the past two weeks, was escorted out of a secure unit of the hospital and taken up to a balcony walkway from which she fell five stories," her mom stated. "She sustained life threatening injuries, has undergone multiple extensive surgeries, and is currently on life support."
She was then put on life support.
