'I pray for a speedy recovery and for the comfort of my children as I know they are very concerned and worried. Travis has a beat the odds numerous times and I know with his support system he will do it again. I will always be there for him and my children.'

Shanna was married to Travis from 2004 to 2008, and they share two children, 18-year-old Landon Barker and 16-year-old Alabama Barker. She also has a daughter — Atiana De La Hoya, 23 — with boxer Oscar De La Hoya, whom Travis considers one of his own children and has maintained a strong relationship with even after the divorce.

Shanna and Travis' tumultuous relationship took a turn when he filed for divorce in 2006, but the couple appeared to have reconciled by the following year, only to finalize their divorce in 2008.

Travis is 'expected to be OK' after he was hospitalized while suffering from pancreatitis which is believed to have been 'triggered' by a recent colonoscopy, it was claimed Thursday.

Update: Barker 'is expected to be OK and is doing better' as source says wife Kourtney Kardashian 'is trying to lift his spirits and hates seeing him in excruciating pain' amid pancreatitis ordeal

'Kourtney is trying to lift his spirits and hates seeing him in excruciating pain,' the source said.

The Blink-182 drummer remains under medical care at at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, California, where Kourtney remains by his side.

According to TMZ, Travis' doctors believe that his pancreatitis - which is an inflammation of the pancreas - was 'triggered' by a recent colonoscopy.

Sources tell the site that Barker underwent the colonoscopy exam recently; the procedure is usually performed to look for changes in the large intestine and rectum, such as swollen, irritated tissues, polyps or cancer.

However, in very rare cases, a colonoscopy - which involves a long tube being inserted into the rectum - can cause pancreatitis, a condition that usually requires hospitalization and can last for several days or, in some cases, occur over many years.

Symptoms of the condition - which can also be caused by gallstones or chronic and heavy alcohol use - include upper abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting.

The agonizing condition that landed Travis Barker in hospital: What is pancreatitis and how serious is it?

Pancreatitis is when the pancreas — a small organ behind the stomach that helps with digestion — becomes inflamed.

There are two types of the condition; Acute pancreatitis, which is triggered suddenly and subsides within about a week, and chronic pancreatitis, where the pancreas is inflamed from permanent damage over many years.

Acute pancreatitis is often linked to gallstones — which form in the gallbladder by the liver — and drinking too much alcohol.

But in rare cases it could also be triggered by a colonoscopy.

In one example published in the International Journal of Surgery Case Reports, a 53-year-old woman developed pancreatitis after having a routine colonoscopy to check for possible cancers.

Symptoms of acute pancreatitis include:

Suddenly suffering severe pain in the center of the abdomen; Feeling or being sick; Having a temperature above 100F (38C).

Patients suffering from the condition are generally admitted to hospital.

Treatment includes being put on an intravenous drip and receiving pain relief. Patients may also be given liquid food through a tube in their stomach and oxygen through tubes in their nose.

Most cases of acute pancreatitis see patients discharged from hospital within a few days and recover after about a week.

But in some cases patients can suffer severe illnesses which may leave long-term complications. In very rare cases it can prove fatal.

About 220,000 people are diagnosed with acute pancreatitis in the U.S. every year, and 80,000 will be diagnosed with chronic pancreatitis, figures from the Pancreas Foundation suggest.
