"Started army crawling the last few days" - Freddie Freeman's wife Chelsea celebrates son Max's recovery 'progress' following recent health scare

Freddie Freeman's family survived a major health scare, as their younger son Maximus, was taken to the ER earlier this month following "full-body paralysis," as mentioned by Freeman's wife Chelsea on social media.

A few days later, it was determined that Maximus was suffering from a severe case of Guillain-Barre syndrome, a rare neurological condition that's especially rare in children. However, Maximus is now expected to make a full recovery and was discharged from hospital after eight days in the ICU.

In the latest update, Chelsea shared the recovery details of Maximus and how her life has changed. She mentioned her new routine involves "follow-up appointments with our pediatrician and neurologists" while referencing the disease, GBS, as "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," Chelsea wrote in the caption of her post.

She added that she's grateful to the entire Dodgers organization for sharing gifts, love and well wishes amid tough times.

Freddie Freeman's heart melts on seeing kids suffering from same syndrome as Maximus

Although Maximus is expected to make a full recovery, it also gave the Dodgers first baseman an insight into the GBS syndrome as he walked the hallway of the hospital and saw kids going through the same.

On his emotional return to Dodger Stadium on Aug. 5, Freddie Freeman detailed his experience from the hospital, saying:

"He didn't deserve this," Freeman said in the press conference after his Aug. 5 game. "No one deserves this, anybody who goes through this. It's not just my family. We were going every night, and every room is filled in the (pediatric ICU).

"And that is heartbreaking. So many families are going through things like this. We're one of the lucky ones that got Guillain-Barré that he might have a full recovery. There are kids out there who are fighting for their lives right now. It just puts everything in perspective," Freeman continued.

After witnessing such a horrific part of the GBS syndrome, Freddie Freeman became humble, saying that if given a choice to see someone go through this problem as opposed to striking out in Game 7 of the World Series, he would happily choose the latter.
