Shayne Lamas is on the mend, both emotionally and physically. 

While the reality star is currently in a Southern California hospital after suffering a miscarriage over the weekend, her husband Nik Richie has revealed that Lamas is now "breathing on her own" and "doing better." 

"We would like to thank everyone from the bottom of our hearts for the immense support we have received from our family, friends, fans and media," Shane's husband said in a statement on Tuesday. "It is really amazing how everyone has come together for Shayne, Press and I during this extremely difficult time.

"Shayne is breathing on her own now and doing better, we have high hopes for a speedy recovery. At this time we are still trying to process everything that happened and we thank everyone again for giving us this time to heal." 

Lamas was rushed to the hospital on Sunday after her husband discovered that she had collapsed inside the family's Orange County home.

TMZ reported that upon arriving at the local hospital, doctors found that Lamas was "bleeding internally around her uterus and the situation was dire."

During emergency surgery on the 28-year-old, Lamas lost her baby. It was announced just last month that she was pregnant with her second child and was entering her second trimester.

Shayne's father Lorenzo Lamas released a statement yesterday saying, "We are so grateful that my daughter is conscious and stable. We are so very grateful to the hospital personnel and the doctors who saved her life last night. She will be remaining in the hospital until her doctors determine that she can be released."

And her husband Nik, who runs a website called TheDirty, also took to his blog on Monday to let fans know he was taking a break to focus on his family during this trying time. 

"I'm going to take some personal days off from the blogging world. Unfortunate things happen to good people. I'm not the best person in the world, but I love my wife and my family," he wrote. "Shayne is my good person. She is my support and my smile. I found you and I never want to let you go. We will overcome. Us 3.- nik"
