On June 26, Nicole shared an update on Facebook, thanking everyone for their healing messages. “Mamie survived her injuries, however, her road to recovery will be long. I will be setting up a mailbox for all of your cards and well wishes shortly,” she wrote.

The actress’s journey to recovery continues, with her family expressing hope and gratitude for the medical care and the support from fans. “Mamie is ‘doing well’ comparatively to when she arrived.
