Los Angeles Dodgers star Freddie Freeman’s son Max is continuing to make positive progress after being diagnosed with a rare nerve disease at the age of three.
Freeman and his wife Chelsea announced earlier in August that Max had been diagnosed with Guillain-Barre syndrome after being rushed to hospital with what they described as ‘full body paralysis’.
Freeman took time away from baseball to look after his family and now Chelsea has revealed that Max is heading in the right direction.
‘Max Update: We have had great follow up appointments with our pediatrician and neurologists this week. People say GBS stands for “Getting Better Slowly”.
‘We have seen a lot of progress in the last week and a half. Max is mostly sleeping through the night again. He is sitting unassisted and even started army crawling the last few days.
‘Our life consists of doctor appointments, physical therapy, and lots of pool time. We are so happy with how well Max has been progressing.
‘We are forever grateful to the Dodgers organization and the fans for how incredible they have been to us. We have also been blown away by everyone’s messages, cards, gifts, flowers, sweets, and prayers sent our way. Thank you all.’
