Freddie Freeman’s 3-year-old son, Maximus, is battling a rare neurological disorder, but has shown improvement.
Freddie Freeman's 3-year-old son, Maximus, is battling a rare neurological disorder called Guillain-Barré syndrome, Freeman and his wife announced Thursday on Instagram. The Instagram post, which was written by Chelsea Freeman, said there “is going to be a journey to recover,” but that the family has “faith that he will be completely healed.” Freeman has missed the Dodgers' last five games while on the family emergency list.
Thursday's post said tests determined that Maximus is battling a “severe” case of Guillain-Barré syndrome, but that the family has “been blown away by his improvements in the last 48 hours.” According to the Mayo Clinic, Guillain-Barré syndrome is a condition in which the body's immune system attacks the nerves. “These have been the hardest and scariest days of our lives,” the Freemans' post said. “Maximus is such a special boy and he has been fighting SO hard.
