Mamie Laverock on "When Calls the Heart"On May 30, a family spokesperson confirmed to PEOPLE that the actress was released from surgery. The same day, Rockmann provided an update about Laverock’s condition.
The actress’ mother told the Los Angeles Times that Laverock "opened her eyes" for the first time since the fall, which occurred on May 26.
"Let's just hope this is the turnaround and she's going to get through this now. I couldn't be happier that people reached out and cared," Rockmann told the outlet, adding that “the story will be told."
Rockmann did not provide many details about the injuries that Laverock sustained from the accident, but said her daughter was in "tremendous pain" after her body was "shattered" from the fall. She also noted that the Hallmark star was "aware" and able to squeeze her hand, but required sedation to stay alive as she recovered from her surgeries.
In a later GoFundMe update, Rockmann, as well as Laverock's father, John Laverock, and stepfather, Rob Compton, revealed that the actress "has undergone two 11-hour surgeries with two doctors working on her, a three hour surgery and another surgery today."
"We have nothing but gratitude for the doctors and nurses who have been exemplary in her care since May 26," the update read.
The 19-year-old’s mom also claimed that her daughter's fall was not "intended,” and placed blame on St. Paul's Hospital in Vancouver, Canada, where she was admitted for a medical emergency in early May and fell while allegedly being escorted around the facility.
"This is an absolute miracle and there will be accountability," Rockmann told the Los Angeles Times.
"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," she added. "It's unbelievable that she’s with us."
