When the heart calls star Mamie Laverock has officially been released from the hospital, but she still has a long road ahead of her.

“Dreams do come true. Welcome home Mamie,” read a post shared on Laverock’s official Facebook page on Monday, August 19, showing a handmade “Home Sweet Home” sign next to a decorated table with rainbow cake and candles.

In response to a comment, Laverock’s family made it clear that she is still on the road to recovery three months after her fall from a balcony.

“She is still badly injured, but we will take care of her privately,” her family responded. “She needed to be home. I am so happy for her. She made it this far… next chapter. It is a blessing to have her home.”

Laverock, 20, was rushed to hospital in May after suffering an unspecified medical emergency. Weeks later, the actress was led from the hospital’s security wing to a balcony and fell five stories, suffering life-threatening injuries that required multiple surgeries.

“We are now concentrating on Mamie’s surgery. Her body is completely destroyed,” said Laverock’s mother. Nicole Rockmanwrote in a GoFundMe update a month later. “She has had two 11-hour surgeries with two doctors, a three-hour surgery and another today. We are eternally grateful to the doctors and nurses who have provided exemplary care for her since May 26th.”

The statement continued: “She endures tremendous pain and continues not to give up. All we can do is hold on to the miracles of each and every day and continue to thank everyone for their prayers and marvel at the wonders of her story.”

Rockmann later confirmed that her daughter had been transferred to another facility and that the family 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” in accordance with standard operating procedures.

Laverock’s family closed their GoFundMe campaign, originally launched to cover medical expenses, late last month, raising more than $28,000.

“Thank you so much. I don’t know what to say. My heart is full,” Rockmann wrote at the time. “I don’t have the words to express my gratitude. I love you guys. Thank you.”

Some film and television stars have been injured while performing stunts, while others have suffered injuries through no fault of their own. One of the scariest examples is Teen Wolf star Dylan O’Brien, who was seriously injured on the set of Maze Runner: The Death Cure and needed six months to recover – (…)

Some of Laverock’s milestones on her road to recovery were documented on social media. Rockmann wrote in July: “Mamie rolled over onto her stomach, pushed herself up and held on to me. It was at that moment that we realized we could hug each other for the first time.”

Earlier this month, Laverock took her first steps before returning home from the hospital.

“It feels really weird. It feels really weird. It feels very wobbly,” the actress said in a clip uploaded to Facebook on August 5. “Hi dad… look, I’m standing with the walker. All by myself.”
