When Calls The Heart star Mamie Laverock has undergone multiple extensive surgeries after falling from a five-story hospital walkway, leaving her body severely shattered. The update regarding her condition was shared by her family on Mamie's GoFundMe page.

According to the family's post, Mamie has already undergone two 11-hour surgeries with the assistance of two doctors, in addition to a three-hour surgery. Another surgery was scheduled to take place, reflecting the extent of the injuries she sustained in the fall. Despite the severity of her condition, Mamie's family expressed gratitude towards the medical professionals who have been providing exemplary care to her since May 26.

While Mamie's condition is described as "doing well" comparatively to when she arrived at the hospital, her family acknowledges the immense pain she is enduring. They commend her strength and determination in fighting every day, emphasizing their belief in holding onto the miracles that each day brings.

The unfortunate incident occurred when Mamie was escorted out of the secure unit of the hospital and taken up to a balcony walkway, from which she fell five stories. The fall resulted in life-threatening injuries and necessitated multiple surgeries, leaving Mamie currently on life support.

The family had previously shared a positive update on the GoFundMe page last week, stating that Mamie was recovering well after the major surgeries. However, the latest update appears to have been taken down.

Speaking to the LA Times, Mamie's mother, Nicole Rockmann, revealed that her daughter had recently opened her eyes, providing a glimmer of hope amidst this challenging time. Nicole expressed her appreciation for the outpouring of support and care shown towards Mamie, emphasizing that her story will be told.

Nicole also clarified that the fall was not intentional and was not a suicide attempt. While Mamie remains in tremendous pain, she is aware and able to squeeze her hand, indicating signs of improvement. The recovery timeline remains uncertain, and Mamie required sedation to aid her healing process.

Mamie's co-stars from When Calls The Heart offered their well-wishes after the fall, and the Hallmark Channel, which airs the show, released a statement expressing their deep sadness. The channel also made a donation to Mamie's GoFundMe page, offering support to her and her family during this difficult time.

Nicole Rockmann mentioned the possibility of taking legal action against St. Paul's Hospital, where the incident occurred. She described it as a potential negligence-type case, but the details concerning the legal action were not revealed.

Mamie's current condition involves being off the ventilator but still on life support. She has been transferred from St. Paul's Hospital to a trauma receiving center for continued care.

Providence Health Care, the organization overseeing St. Paul's Hospital, acknowledged that an incident had taken place but couldn't provide detailed information due to patient privacy regulations. They reassured their commitment to conducting an internal critical incident review to improve patient safety.

As Mamie Laverock fights to recover from her extensive injuries, the When Calls The Heart community and the Hallmark Channel offer their support, prayers, and well-wishes. Mamie's story serves as a reminder of the resilience and strength she possesses, inspiring those around her to continue their prayers and hope for a full recovery.
