Rosenbaum posted photos and videos from a hospital, where he is undergoing immunoglobulin therapy. He described Guillain-Barré syndrome as "a very surreal, and humbling, and crazy, rare" disorder.
"Just can't really believe it," Rosenbaum said. "Next steps are figure out if I've plateaued, which I think I have, in my symptoms. Definitely staying another night in the hospital."
Guillain-Barré syndrome is a rare autoimmune disorder that causes a person's own immune system to damage the nerves, according to the CDC. The disorder can cause muscle weakness and sometimes paralysis.
Hebert also shared photos and videos with Rosenbaum from the hospital.
"Jp was diagnosed with Guillain-Barré syndrome yesterday. He is in treatment and doing well," Hebert wrote. "It may be a long road to full recovery, but we are so grateful to everyone that has helped us get to a speedy diagnosis and treatment."
