As y'all likely know, a deadly plane crash claimed the lives of four and critically injured former Blink 182 drummer Travis Barker, and celebrity spinmaster DJ AM shortly before midnight on Friday.
Both Travis and DJ AM are being treated at the Joseph M. Still Burn Center in Augusta, Georgia for extensive burns. The two, no doubt, have received excellent care. The Still facility is reportedly the largest burn center in the country and the third largest in the world.
Dr. Fred Mullins, the Still Center's medical director, told reporters Sunday morning, "I think these patients are going to make a full recovery. Anybody who can survive a plane crash is very lucky."
The doctor went on to say that Travis has burns on his torso and lower body, and AM has burns on a portion of his head and arm, but neither sustained any other injuries from the crash.
Both are currently in "critical but stable" condition.
The burns the two suffered were classified as second- and third-degree burns.
The doc would not tell reporters the types of treatment Travis and AM were undergoing at the center. He also would not answer a reporter's question about what percentage of their bodies were burned.
According to insiders, Travis' fighting spirit was on clear display at the crash site, despite his severe injuries. Travis was supposedly 'defiant after the accident and didn't want to be lifted in a helicopter, but rather an ambulance, so they had to knock him out.'
Friends of DJ AM reported on Saturday that he was placed in a doctor-induced coma and underwent skin grafts.
Travis' ex-wife, Shanna Moakler, left Los Angeles Saturday afternoon for Georgia. She's going to be by his hospital bedside to see him through this rough time.
AM's sister, Lara, and her husband were reportedly on their way to the burn center as well. MTV reported that Nicole Richie, AM's ex-fiancee "is in shock" and that Richie's current beau, Joel Madden, "knows Travis and also feels terrible and hopes they recover. This is terrible news for both of them."
There was a rumor going around on Saturday that the private jet was hired to get everyone back to the LA-area quickly because the wife of Chris Baker, one of the four who died in the crash, was in labor. That rumor was immediately debunked by Travis' publicist.
We're praying for AM and Travis' speedy recoveries.
Our thoughts are also with the victims' families.
