In a social media post, the couple said Maximus had 'rapidly declined and went into full-body paralysis” and was rushed to the hospital to “reinforce his lungs” last Friday.
LOS ANGELES — Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman and his wife Chelsea said their 3-year-old son Maximus is suffering from Guillain-Barre syndrome, a rare neurological disorder.Their update in a joint social-media post Thursday came little more than a week after the Dodgers scratched him from the starting lineup against Houston, then placed him on the family emergency list a day later. Freeman rushed home and hasn't played since.
Maximus has improved in recent days, including having his breathing tube removed and being taken off a ventilator Wednesday.“These have been the hardest and scariest days of our lives,” the post stated. “Maximus is such a special boy and he has been fighting SO hard. This is going to be a journey to recover, but we have faith that he will be completely healed.”The post stated the family has appreciated prayers and support from well-wishers.
