“When Calls The Heart”'s Erin Krakow Says Costar Mamie Laverock 'Is on the Mend' After Fall

Laverock, 19, has been in the hospital for over a month and is still "recovering" from her five-story fall

When Calls the Heart's Mamie Laverock is continuing to improve.

Her costar, Erin Krakow, said that the 19-year-old is "recovering slowly" weeks after she fell five stories from a hospital balcony.

"She is on the mend," Krakow told Entertainment Tonight on June 13. "I've been in touch with her parents and it's a really tough time for the family right now."

The family has shared their "immense gratitude" to the "When Calls the Heart community for all their support," Krakow, 39, said.

Krakow, who plays Elizabeth Thornton on the hit Hallmark series, previously said that she's "been in touch" with Laverock recently and is "wishing her all the best."

"She's such a great girl and I hope it's just the speediest recovery," she told Page Six, before clarifying that she and the cast want to "offer her family some privacy."

On May 30, four days after her fall, Laverock "opened her eyes for the first time," her mom told the Los Angeles Times after her body was "shattered" from the fall.

Her mom called her daughter's recovery "an absolute miracle" and clarified that the fall was not "intended," nor was it a suicide attempt.

"All we care about is that Mamie can make a recovery and that she’s alive and that she’s fighting and that she’s strong. It's unbelievable that she’s with us."

A spokesperson for Providence Health Care, which operates the hospital, told PEOPLE it does not comment on patient-related matters due to its privacy and confidentiality policies. However, the rep shared: "In cases related to patient safety, an internal critical incident review is conducted to determine exactly what happened and to make recommendations for improved patient safety."

"Our hearts go out to the patient, family, and all affected by this event, and offer our best wishes for a full recovery," the spokesperson added.
