Guillain-Barre Syndrome is terrible. My son got it at the age of twelve. Just started to lose his balance and started falling down. Went to emerg and the pediatrician said you have to get him downtown to Sick Kids hospital right now. Checked into Sick Kids that night and a day later in the hospital and he was paralyzed from the neck down. Can't take solid foods and had to be fed by a tube, on a ventilator, tubes, the whole thing. Wife and I took turns at the hospital in twelve hour shifts. While I was at his bedside my father died and I didn't have a chance to see him before he passed. 2012 was a hell of a year for me. Took about a year before my son recovered. Being young is an advantage for Freeman's son. Those who contract GBS as adults sometimes never recover. Wouldn't wish it on anybody. I am grateful to the staff of Sick Kids for everything they did for my son.
I'm not the type to post personal stuff but Freeman's situation kind of hit home. Wish him the best.
