At this time, neither Machine Gun Kelly or Barker's wife, Kourtney Kardashian, have posted another whether or not they have also caught the highly contagious disease.

At the time, Kardashian re-posted Barker's Instagram Story and added her own sentiments, thanking God 'for healing my husband' after the 'scary and emotional week' they had.
'I went in for an endoscopy Monday feeling great. But After dinner, I developed excruciating pain and have been hospitalized ever since,' Travis wrote.
'During the endoscopy, I had a very small polyp removed right in a very sensitive area, usually handled by specialists, which unfortunately damaged a critical pancreatic drainage tube. This resulted in severe life threatening pancreatitis.'

The Blink-182 drummer added: 'I am so very very grateful that with intensive treatment I am currently much better,' closing the message with a praying hands emoji.
Kourtney meanwhile wrote: 'Oh what a scary and emotional week it has been. Our health is everything and sometimes we take for granted how quickly it can change. Travis and I went in for a routine endoscopy together and he ended up with severe, life-threatening pancreatitis.'
She continued: 'I am so grateful to God for healing my husband, for all of your prayers for him and for us, for the overwhelming outpouring of love and support. I am so touched and appreciative.'

The reality star added: 'I am so so thankful to our specialists, doctors, and nurses at Cedars Sinai for taking such wonderful care of my husband and me during our stay.'
In a follow-up post, she wrote: 'It's crazy how sometimes words could never truly express the gratitude or feelings I have inside of me.'
At the time, a source told E! that Kourtney was trying to stay positive as she remained by his side at Cedars-Sinai hospital in Los Angeles.
The source added: 'He was in extreme pain yesterday, and he and Kourtney were both really worried. It was to the point where he could barely walk.'
