Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker both wrote on social media on Wednesday about the recent “urgent fetal surgery” Kardashian underwent this weekend. Last week, a number of Blink 182 shows were canceled due to what the band called an “urgent family matter” for Barker. We now know the urgent matter was surgery to save baby Kravis Jr.’s life. “I will forever be grateful to my incredible doctors for saving our baby’s life,” Kardashian wrote on Instagram. “I am eternally grateful to my husband, who rushed to my side from the tour to accompany me in the hospital and take care of me, my rock, afterwards. And thanks to my mother for holding my hand.”

Kourtney Kardashian announced her pregnancy at a Blink 182 show in June this year. This is Barker and Kardashian’s fourth child. “As someone who has had three very easy pregnancies in the past, I was unprepared for the fear of undergoing urgent fetal surgery,” she added. “I don’t think anyone who hasn’t gone through a similar situation can even begin to understand that feeling of fear. I have a whole new understanding and respect for the mothers who have struggled to care for their babies during pregnancy.” In his Twitter post, Barker said Blink-182’s tour dates will resume on Friday.
