Los Angeles Dodgers star Freddie Freeman ’s son Maximus , who is battling rare nerve condition Guillain-Barré syndrome, is making “progress” healthwise, according to an emotional update from his mom. Posting to Instagram on Friday, August 16, Chelsea Freeman shared a carousel of family photos featuring the 3-year-old smiling and making funny faces for the camera, while detailing how he is coming along following a frightening trip to the emergency room late last month. “We have had great follow up appointments with our pediatrician and neurologists this week,” she wrote in the caption.
“People say GBS stands for ‘Getting Better Slowly.’” She continued: “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.
” A post shared by Chelsea Freeman (@chelseafreeman5) “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,” she added. In addition to the shots of Maximus posing with her and his brothers, Chelsea also shared pictures of Dodgers-related gifts, including decorated cookies, custom sneakers and baseball bats, all embla.
