“Her body has been shattered,” Laverock’s parents, Rob and Nicole, wrote. “She 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.”
Last week, the family wrote that Laverock was “doing well,” but they clarified this statement Wednesday by adding, “Mamie is ‘doing well’ comparatively to when she arrived. Doing well because she has survived these extensive surgeries.”
They concluded, “We can only hold onto the miracles of each day and continue to thank everyone for their prayers and marvel at the miracles of her story. Our daughter loves her life and loves her family and is fighting hard every day.”
Per the family’s report, Laverock traveled to a Winnipeg, Canada, hospital May 11 for an undisclosed “medical emergency.” She was then transferred to a Vancouver hospital, where on May 26 she fell from a balcony walkway and sustained the injuries.
Laverock appeared as Rosaleen Sullivan in When Calls the Heart in 2014 and 2023. Her other TV credits include Psych, The Killing Game, Wedding of Dreams, A Series of Unfortunate Events and the Spotlight on Christmas TV movie.
“We are deeply saddened to hear the news about Mamie. As a beloved member of our When Calls the Heart community, we wish her and her family peace, comfort and many prayers during this difficult time,” Hallmark Media said in a statement obtained by The Hollywood Reporter.
Johannah Newmarch, who plays Laverock’s onscreen mother, Molly Sullivan, on When Calls the Heart, urged fans on her X page (formerly Twitter) to donate to the GoFundMe page. “I love this wonderful family so much, and my heart is broken,” she wrote. “Such a devastating time for them and all who care deeply for sweet Mamie. Please help if you can. They need all the support they can get to make it through this nightmare. Thank you.”
