Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker are happy to count their blessings. In his last episode Kardashiansthe couple's seven-month-old son Rocky Thirteen made his reality show debut and the mum revealed the health scare she suffered last year and required emergency surgery on the fetus in September.
In the episode, Kardashian reveals that the procedure was due to fluid in their son's lungs that required immediate surgery. “We had a terrible fear,” he explains on the show. “It's extremely rare – the condition it was in – but it's also extremely rare and lucky we caught it. Thank you God for the successful operation. I'm honestly so grateful, I have no words.”
Before discussing Rocky's health issues, the episode flashed to October 2023, with the couple snuggling in bed and dreaming of their first child together. Father-of-three Barker talks about his excitement about the birth, specifically mentioning the first “natural” birth he will experience. “I'm a little scared,” he says, promising Kardashian that he'll be “right there” when the blessed event takes place. “I'll catch him like a basketball,” he says.
“You can't be down there… I don't want you to get hurt,” Kardashian jokes about her husband's desire to have a bird's-eye view during the upcoming birth. As they prepare to go to the hospital, Barker frets about Rocky's health, wishing his lungs were “perfect” and that he's a “solid eight pounds.”
The scene then turns into a confessional, in which Kardashian looks back on the horror several months earlier, turning the reality star into a hospital bed after surgery to remove fluid from Rocky's lungs before he was born on the 1 November.
Kardashian says she was “full of fear” before the surgery and then again when the symptoms returned shortly after. After watching a documentary he called Cure about the power of positive thinking to affect health, Kourtney says she talked to the baby every day and prayed. “Once I had that mindset shift, the liquid was completely gone and we haven't had a single problem since,” he says. “It's everything I've ever dreamed of. Everything we've been through to get to this moment, it's just so surreal.”
At the end, Kardashian says, “I'm so happy in my happy childhood bubble and love with Rocky.”
