Mamie Laverock‘s family is providing a health update.
The 20-year-old When Calls the Heart star shared that she is officially home from the hospital following a fall off a balcony.
“Dreams do come true. Welcome Home Mamie,” a post on her official Facebook page read on Monday (August 19), which showed a handmade “Home Sweet Home” sign alongside a decorated table with rainbow cake and candles.
Her loved ones clarified that while she is still in recovery three months after she fell off a balcony, and was put on life support.

“She’s still severely injured but we will take care of her privately,” her family wrote. “She needed to be at home. So happy for her. She made it this far … next chapter. It’s a blessing to have her home.”
Mamie was taken to a hospital in May after suffering an undisclosed medical emergency. Weeks later, as she was being escorted from the hospital’s secure wing to a balcony walkway, she fell five stories, sustaining life-threatening injuries that required multiple surgeries.
“Focusing now on Mamie’s surgery today. Her body has been shattered,” her mom, Nicole Rockmann, wrote in an update via GoFundMe one month later, via Us Weekly. “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.”
“She is enduring tremendous pain and continues to not give up. 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,” the statement continued.
She was eventually relocated to another facility and the family revealed they planned to take legal action against St. Paul’s Hospital.
Providence Health Care, which operates St. Paul’s Hospital, told the Los Angeles Times in May that they were conducting an “internal critical incident review” per standard operating procedures.
Her family closed their GoFundMe, which was launched to help raise money for medical expenses, late in July. They raised over $28,000.
We are wishing the best to Mamie Laverock in her continued recovery.
