Guillain-Barré syndrome is “a rare neurological condition that is especially rare in children.” According to the Mayo Clinic, GBS is “a condition in which the body’s immune system attacks the nerves. It can cause weakness, numbness or paralysis.”
Prior to his diagnosis, Chelsea Freeman explained that Max “rapidly declined and went into full body paralysis. We are very fortunate to have gotten him to the hospital in time so they could reinforce his lungs.”
At the time, she called the last several days “the hardest and scariest days of our lives.”
“Maximus is such a special boy and he has been fighting SO hard,” the mom shared. “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.”
