Travis Barker’s family has shared new updates amid his hospitalization with pancreatitis.
The 16-year-old daughter of the Blink-182 battery, Alabama, shared a new photo of him since his diagnosis, an inflammation of the pancreas, was made public on Wednesday.
“Thank you guys for all the prayers and love,” he wrote on Instagram along with a photo of his hands side by side. “I thank you and I love you all.”

It’s unclear when the photo was taken, as Travis isn’t wearing a hospital gown. An earlier photo of Alabama, whose mother is Shanna Moakler, posted on TikTok showed her father in a hospital bed. A representative of the musician has not responded to Yahoo Entertainment’s request for comment.
Travis ’stepdaughter, 23-year-old Atiana De La Hoya, also shared an update on Instagram.
“Thank you for the outpouring of love and the prayers you have sent us at this time. It is heard, heard and appreciated,” wrote Atiana, daughter of Moakler and boxer Oscar De La Hoya.

Travis, 46, has been at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in LA since Tuesday. Kardashian, whom she married in May, has been comforting.
“Kourtney will not leave her side,” a source told People magazine.
Kardashian was “worried” Tuesday when Travis was taken to hospital with a stretcher. “They were both. Travis was suffering from extreme stomach pain and could barely walk.”
The source said he is “getting the best care for Cedars” with his doctors focusing on pain management as they determine the extent of his condition and propose a modified diet.
According to Johns Hopkins, pancreatitis can be sudden (acute) or continuous (chronic). Symptoms range from severe abdominal pain that can spread to the back or chest, nausea, vomiting, fever and fast heart rate, among others. It can cause serious problems or be fatal in the most serious cases.
In the most manageable cases, a patient is usually in the hospital for a few days, administering IV fluids (intravenous), pain medications, and medications that fight bacterial infections (antibiotics). If mild, patients may consume clear fluids or a low-fat diet. If it is severe, a patient may not be able to eat or drink for several days to let the pancreas rest, which causes the enzymes that help break down food.
