Freddie Freeman’s wife shares encouraging update on son after health scare

Freddie Freeman’s wife shared an encouraging health update Wednesday about their 4-year-old son Max, who was hospitalized over the summer with a rare autoimmune disorder.

In a post on her Instagram Stories, Chelsea Freeman revealed Max — who was diagnosed with Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) — is “80 percent recovered after today’s assessment” with his neurologist and “had reflexes in both his knees and feet for the first time,” among other improvements in his progress.

“He is finally above his pre GBS weight,” Chelsea shared. “He is still working hard in PT to build strength back in his leg & his feet (dorsiflexion) to improve. I cannot express how thankful I am for these improvements. Life has slowly started to feel more normal. I realize how precious health is now. It is everything. If you are a special needs parent I have no words for how incredible you are.”

Chelsea’s update comes less than a year after Max was admitted to the hospital after he “rapidly declined and went into full body paralysis.”

“These have been the hardest and scariest days of our lives,” Chelsea wrote Aug. 1 on Instagram. “Maximus is such a special boy and he has been fighting SO hard. This is going to be a journey to recover, but we have faith that he will be completely healed. We have been blown away by his improvements in the last 48 hours. Maximus was excavated from his breathing tube and taken off of the ventilator yesterday, which is a huge win for us. We believe in the power of prayer and we have been witnessing a miracle in his recovery.”

Guillain-Barré syndrome is described as a condition where “the body’s immune system attacks the nerves,” and “it can cause weakness, numbness or paralysis,” according to the Mayo Clinic.

Chelsea, who also shares sons Brandon, 4, and Charlie, 8, with the Dodgers first baseman, continued to provide updates on Max’s progress throughout the season, which concluded in a World Series win for L.A.

Freeman and the Dodgers defeated the Yankees in five games, rallying from behind in Game 5 in The Bronx to seal the franchise’s eighth World Series win.

It marked Freeman’s second World Series title and his first as a Dodger, with his historic walk-off Grand Slam in Game 1 kicking the championship series off on an explosive note.

Freeman, 35, joined the Dodgers on a six-year, $162 million deal in 2022 after beginning his MLB career with the Braves, where he won his first championship in 2021.

Chelsea told The Post earlier this month that the expectations are high for the reigning champs.

“As long as everyone stays healthy, it’s going to be a really, really great season for them,” she said.

The Dodgers host the Detroit Tigers on Opening Day Thursday.
