“Nothing worse than seeing your child in pain” - Freddie Freeman’s wife Chelsea shares emotional message after son Max gets discharged from hospital
Freddie Freeman’s wife, Chelsea Freeman, previously shared her younger son Maximus’ health update on Instagram, saying he developed transient synovitis. However, things got much worse from there, as their son was admitted to the ER Wednesday night, Chelsea shared on Instagram on Thursday.
LA Dodgers star Freddie joined them after his game against the San Francisco Giants at Dodger Stadium. After two attempts of IV and several tests, the situation got better.
“We ended up taking him to the ER last night. Freddie met me straight from the game. He stopped eating or drinking and was very lethargic. It took two attempts to get IV in and Max was so brave he didn’t even cry. They ran a ton of tests and bloodwork panels that thank God they all came back negative. No infection or active virus."
“They hydrated him and gave him anti inflammatory medicine through IV. Took x-rays & ultrasound. Everything is consistent with transient synovitis. He still can’t bear any weight to stand or walk so we’ll be closely monitoring him. If he doesn’t improve in 48hrs he needs to go back to the hospital. We got discharged around 3:30 am.”
Chelsea concluded:
“The childrens hospital staff were amazing. There is really nothing worse than seeing your child in pain. My heart breaks for all the families that have it worse. Thank you so much for the prayers.”
Freddie Freeman's wife Chelsea sought medical suggestions for her son Maximus
On Wednesday, Chelsea Freeman, Freddie Freeman’s wife, shared a worrying update about Maximus. After attending the All-Star event in Arlington last Tuesday, Maximus got sick with a viral infection. It got worse when it developed into transient synovitis, an inflammation in the hip joint.
She posted on her IG story.
"Please say a prayer for Maximus. Doctor says he developed transient synovitis from the viral infection he had All-Star week. Day 3 of not being able to sit, stand or walk. Any tips to help toddlers take/keep down medicine? He is usually good at taking medicine but he keeps spitting it out.”
On Thursday, she gave an update on her son, who was later hospitalized but is on the road to steady recovery.
