MISSION VIEJO , Calif., Feb. 20 (UPI) -- Shayne Lamas has been released from intensive care more than a week after she was admitted to Mission Viejo Hospital following a miscarriage.

The 28-year-old Bachelor alum was rushed to the hospital by paramedics on Sunday Feb. 9 due to a pregnancy complication. Lamas lost her unborn child during surgery after doctors determined she was bleeding internally around her uterus. She was then placed in a medically induced coma and suffered cardiac arrest. She had been recuperating in the ICU unit ever since.

"Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers. I've cried reading the expression of generosity and warmth from everyone," she said. "I'm out of ICU at Mission Viejo Hospital. I cannot thank the medical staff here enough for not giving up on me."

Lamas went on to thank her parents, her husband Nik Richie, his parents and her sisters for "never leaving her side," and encouraged her supporters to donate blood, as this could "save a life" like hers.

The actress finished her statement paying tribute to her unborn son, "In loving memory of my son, Rex Jagger Lamas-Richie," she wrote.

Richie previously told TMZ that the couple decided to name his son after his death so the staff could fill out a birth certificate.
