Doctor Updates Condition On Travis Barker And DJ AM
Everyone was in shock yesterday when they found out that Travis Barker and DJ AM were in a airplane accident and were critically injured. Today, the doctor who is treating Travis and DJ AM has released the news that they will survive the accident but recovery may take up to a year.
Dr. Fred Mullins of the Joseph M. Still Burn Center at Doctors’ Hospital in Augusta said at a press conference that Travis and DJ AM are being treated for second- and third-degree burns.
Mullins says recovery from such burns can take as long as a year but says that the men suffered no other injuries, adding: “Since both Barker and Goldstein are in overall good health and didn’t suffer from any other crash-related complications, a full recovery is expected.”
As for a timeline, though he said recovery could require a year, Mullins also noted, “I would expect it would be much sooner than that.”
Mullins says Barker was burned on his torso and lower body, while DJ AM, was burned on his arms and a portion of his head. The doctor described both as remaining in critical but stable condition and in the intensive-care unit of the hospital.
The doctor declined to comment on their emotional state. The doctor also mentioned in his statement that the families have asked for privacy.
“The families wish to thank fans from all over the world for their prayers and concern. Deepest sympathy is expressed to the loved ones of those who perished in the crash. As the two recuperate and mourn this loss, privacy for them their families and friends is requested at this time.”
I am so glad they will be alright. And our condolences go out to the ones who were lost in this accident.

I’m glad they are going to recover. I can’t help but wonder though if they couldn’t have tried to help any of the others to safety.
I heard that Travis and DJ jumped out of the plane and were still on fire when they did so. I think they were trying to get themselves unburnt and to safety.
