"Kourtney took action immediately when he was in pain, and he's really thankful," the insider shared. "It was definitely an eye-opening experience for the whole family, and they are all rallying around Travis."

After such much needed downtime, as the source explained, Travis wasted no time getting back to his schedule. "Travis is already back to work and in the swing of things," the insider continued. "He's trying to take it easy on his body but was eager to get back to work and finish a few projects he's working on."

The 46-year-old was rushed to a hospital in Los Angeles by ambulance on June 28. Days after his medical emergency, Travis shared an update with fans about his health and revealed more details behind his diagnosis.
 
"I went in for an endoscopy Monday feeling great," he wrote on his Instagram Story. "But after dinner, I developed excruciating pain and have been hospitalized ever since. 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."

However, Travis made it clear he was on the road to recovery, adding, "I am so very very grateful that with intensive treatment I am currently much better."

Kourtney also reflected on the ordeal in a post shared to her social media on the same day. "Our health is everything and sometimes we take for granted how quickly it can change," she wrote. "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."
