The emergency involved urgent fetal surgery, which thankfully was successful. Kourtney has since been discharged from the hospital and is in the process of recovering.
Travis Barker's Supportive Role
Travis Barker, the 47-year-old drummer for Blink-182, immediately postponed some dates on the band's European tour to be by Kourtney's side.

She also thanked her husband Travis for his unwavering support and her mother, Kris Jenner, for being her emotional anchor during this challenging time.
Public and Private Sentiments
While Kourtney has been open about her gratitude and relief, sources reveal that she was terrified during the ordeal. She was not prepared for the complications that arose, given her history of uncomplicated pregnancies. A source told PEOPLE magazine that Kourtney "was very scared after finding out that her baby needed surgery" and initially "didn’t want to talk about what was going on."
Travis Barker's Public Acknowledgment
Travis Barker also took to social media to share his thoughts on the emergency. Writing on X (formerly known as Twitter), he said, "God is great. I flew home for a life-threatening emergency surgery for our baby that I’m so grateful went well. I want to say thank you for all the support."
