Travis Barker and DJ AM are Expected to Make a Full Recovery

Posted on 21 September 2008 by Loretta

Dr. Fred Mullins, the Medical Director at Joseph Still Burn Center in Georgia held a press conference this morning, September 21st, regarding Travis Barker and DJ AM’s condition.  Mullins said that both Barker and Goldstein are being treated for second and third degree burns, but he expects a full recovery.

Dr. Mullins said,

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.

Barker was burned on his torso and lower body and DJ AM suffered burns to a portion of his head and his arms.  They both remain in the hospital’s intensive-care unit in critical but stable condition.

Dr. Mullins says that it may take a year to recover, however he expects that it will be sooner than that.  Mullins also read a statement from the families that said,

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.

If you wish to express your thoughts and well wishes to Barker or Goldstein you can email them at doctors-hospital.net, just click on “visitors” then “email patient.”
