"He's really enjoying bossing us around" - Freddie Freeman's wife Chelsea gushes over son Max's personality being back amid his battle with GBS

Freddie Freeman's son Maximus is coming off a major health scare which saw him getting "full-body paralysis" a couple of weeks ago. After a series of tests, it was determined that he was dealing with "a severe case of Guillain-Barré syndrome, which is a rare neurological condition that is especially rare in children."

On Thursday, Freeman's wife, Chelsea, shared a video of the two-year journey of an adult suffering from GBS. The journey involved the recovery of Adam Aguirre, who was first diagnosed with GBS in 2021.

During the next two years, Adam underwent a series of recovery steps, like learning how to walk again, physiotherapy to regain strength, and other activities as recovery progressed.

Finally, after two years, Adam recovered full strength and was able to lead a normal life again. Re-sharing the post, Chelsea expressed a similar recovery for Maximus, while also sharing that her son is currently the boss of the house.

"Max is doing incredible but he was pretty much back to a newborn in terms of strength when we got home," Chelsea wrote. "We are actively in PT and already seeing big progress in him sitting up unassisted for longer periods of time. His personality is fully back and he's really enjoying bossing us around. #gbs #gbssurvivor."

Freddie Freeman's son Maximus discharged from hospital

After spending eight days in the Pediatric ICU, which also involved Maximus being taken on a ventilator, Freddie Freeman's son was discharged from the hospital. Last Friday, Chelsea informed her followers that Maximus is looking forward to a long recovery.

"Max still has a long road ahead of him to regain his strength and relearn how to walk," Chelsea wrote. "But we are so thankful to have our family back together. Thank you God for this miracle. Also, thank you to our incredible team of doctors and angel nurses for taking such good care of our boy. And to our village for helping so much with Charlie and Brandon."

This also allowed Freddie Freeman to return to the Dodgers lineup this week. He returned on Monday against the Philadelphia Phillies and received a standing ovation when he took the plate in the first inning.

This entire experience has also left the first baseman humbled, as his experience at the hospital seeing children suffer from GBS gave him a reality check on life.
