His 3-year-old son Maximus is now home from the hospital.

He is suffering from Guillain-Barré syndrome, a rare disease where the body's immune system attacks the nerves.

Maximus was diagnosed with a severe case of GBS that left him paralyzed and on a ventilator in the intensive care unit.

But thankfully after nine days in the hospital - he is back home with his family.

His fight will continue as he will undergo therapy to regain his strength and relearn how to walk.
