Travis Barker speaks out after Kourtney Kardashian’s ‘life-threatening’ fetal surgery: ‘God is great’
Alongside a black and white photo of their hands intertwined on Instagram, the mum-to-be wrote: “I will be forever grateful to my amazing doctors for saving our baby’s life.”
“I am eternally grateful to my husband who rushed to my side from the tour to be with me in the hospital and take care of me afterwards, my rock. And to my mom, thank you for holding my hand through this,” she continued. “As someone who has had three really easy pregnancies in the past, I was not prepared for the fear of emergency fetal surgery. I don’t think anyone who hasn’t been through a similar situation can understand that feeling of fear,” she shared. “I have a whole new understanding and respect for moms who had to fight for their babies while they were pregnant.” She concluded, “Praise be to God. Coming out of the hospital with my baby boy in my belly and safe was the truest blessing. 🙏🏼🤍.”
The drummer also shared a tweet about the situation, writing: “God is great. I flew home for emergency life threatening surgery for our baby who is so thankful she did well.”
“I want to thank you for your support. The tour continues on Friday,” he concluded.
This baby is the fourth child for Kardashian. The POOSH founder has sons Reign Aston, 8, and Mason Dash, 13, plus daughter Penelope Scotland, 11, with ex Scott Disick. Barker has three children with ex Shanna Moakler, son Landon, 19, daughter Alabama, 17, and stepdaughter Atiana, 24.
