When Calls the Heart's Mamie Laverock, 19, 'Doing Well' After Surgeries Following 5-Story Fall From Balcony
Mamie Laverock's parents provided an optimistic update less than a week after they revealed the actress was on life support following a fall from a balcony.
"Mamie is out of her big surgeries and the doctors say she is doing well. It's impossible for us to be happier," they wrote on her GoFundMe page. "Thank you all for your support."
As OK! reported, the 19-year-old suffered an undisclosed medical emergency on May 11 and was receiving "intensive" treatment for two weeks at a hospital in Winnipeg. However, after she was transferred to a facility in Vancouver, she "was escorted out of a secure unit of the hospital and taken up to a balcony walkway from which she fell five stories" on Tuesday, May 26.
"She sustained life threatening injuries, has undergone multiple extensive surgeries, and is currently on life support," the parents noted at the time. "We are all devastated, in shock, at this intensely difficult time."
The GoFundMe page has amassed over $32,000 in donations, succeeding their $30,000 goal.
