Less than a week and a half after escaping from a fatal small plane crash which killed two friends and two crewmembers, Travis Barker has been released from the burn unit of the Joseph M. Still Burn Center in Augusta, Georgia. He suffered second and third degree burns to the lower half of his body. On Friday it seemed like Barker would be lucky if he got out of the hospital in a couple of weeks, but clearly he’s gotten better much quicker than originally expected.
Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker is out of the hospital on Monday after spending nine days in a burn center. Barker was in critical condition after surviving a plane crash in South Carolina on Sept 20.
The musician and DJ AM (nee Adam Goldstein) were the only two out of six passengers to survive the crash, though both suffered serious burns. Goldstein was released from the hospital on Friday.
“Travis is in good condition and was discharged this morning,” Beth Frits, a spokesman for the Joseph M. Still Burn Center in Augusta, Georgia, told People magazine. “He has left Augusta.”
There is still no word as to Barker’s expected recovery time.

I really wish Barker or DJ AM’s spokespeople would release some sort of statement that talked about their prognosis. I’m sure their fans are all wondering just how bad (or good) things are. At first it didn’t even seem clear that they’d pull through, and then it seemed like if nothing else they’d be scarred in some serious way. Now they’ve both been released from the hospital in surprisingly short times – which speaks to both of their overall good health as well. Hopefully things will continue looking up for them, and both Barker and AM will keep surprising everyone with great progress.

I really hope that this whole accident makes Travis stop and think about what’s important. I doubt that the girls he was cheating with such as Paris Hilton would have rushed to his side to help him through this ordeal the way Shanna has. If this doesn’t prove what a dedicated wife she is, nothing will.

oh, I didnt want to bring this up but if his lower body is with second and third degree burns he will have to put his “lover boy” ways aside for a while!

Travis never cheated on Shanna with anybody. His fling with Paris was during their separation. Shanna acted the way she did because she’s a jealous person.
