I cannot thank the medical staff here enough for not giving up on me. Thank you to my father and his wife, my mother, my sisters, my grandmother and New York family, my husband's family, and to my husband for never leaving my side. Nik, your strength can never be measured. I love you."

"You saved your mother's life with your passing and I will never forget how much this means to me, R.J. In family, we sacrifice for each other. You gave your life for us. You showed me how to love. I need you to know that I held you, spoke to you, kissed you and that you'll be remembered. You are perfect. You will always be my son. I'm proud of you, always. I love you, Rex Jagger Lamas-Richie," Nik wrote.
It's unknown what led to Lamas' need for surgery, other than significant internal bleeding. While in surgery, she suffered a miscarriage and was in harm's way for several days. Prayers from around the world came in and many offered their support for the reality star.
"To everyone out there, please donate blood," Lamas said in her official statement. "You can save a life like mine. In loving memory of my son, Rex Jagger Lamas-Richie."
