Travis Barker is already “much better” after being hospitalized for “life-threatening” pancreatitis.
The drummer of the band Blink-182 has been undergoing intensive treatment since being rushed to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles earlier this week after suffering “excruciating pain” after a routine procedure.
Now, for the first time the musician has spoken about his state of health: “I went for an endoscopy on Monday feeling very well. But after dinner, I developed excruciating pain and have been hospitalized ever since.”
“During the endoscopy, a very small polyp was removed right in a very sensitive area, which is normally handled by specialists, which unfortunately damaged a critical pancreatic drainage tube. This caused severe pancreatitis that was life-threatening. I am very, very grateful that, with intensive treatment, I am now much better (sic)”.
The wife of the musician from 46 years, Kourtney Kardashian, also reflected on the “terrifying and emotional” week she has had with her partner.
In her own account, the businesswoman wrote: “What a terrifying and emotional week it has been been. Our health is everything and sometimes we take for granted how quickly it can change. Travis and I went in for a routine endoscopy together and he ended up with severe, life-threatening pancreatitis.”
The The ‘Kardashians’ star said they were “so touched and grateful” for the support they have received and expressed their gratitude to Travis’ medical team.
“I am so thankful to God for curing my husband, for all your prayers for him and for us, for the overwhelming outpouring of love and support. I am very moved and grateful. I am very, very grateful to our specialists, doctors and nurses at Cedars Sinai for taking such wonderful care of my husband and I during our stay.”
