Freddie Freeman's Son Maximus Discharged from Hospital After Viral Infection

Los Angeles Dodgers star Freddie Freeman's family has received positive news as their youngest son, Maximus, has been discharged from the hospital after an eight-day stay. Chelsea Freeman shared the update on Instagram, revealing that their three-year-old son had been diagnosed with a severe case of Guillan-Barré syndrome, a rare neurological disorder that can lead to full-body paralysis. Chelsea expressed gratitude for their family being reunited, acknowledging the long road ahead for Maximus as he works to regain his strength and relearn how to walk. Guillan-Barré syndrome is characterized by the immune system attacking the nerves, resulting in symptoms such as weakness, numbness, and paralysis, according to the Mayo Clinic. Earlier in the week, Chelsea had informed followers that Maximus was taken off a ventilator, marking a significant step in his recovery. The Freemans suspect that the condition may have been triggered by a viral infection Maximus contracted during last month’s All-Star game in Arlington, Texas. In a coincidental turn of events, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts announced that Freddie Freeman could return to the team as soon as Monday or Tuesday after missing the last eight games. Freeman had been placed on the restricted list following a family emergency, which was a procedural move after he reached the maximum seven days allowed. Chelsea Freeman expressed her heartfelt thanks on social media, acknowledging the medical team that cared for Maximus and the support from their community during this challenging time.
