Guillain-Barré syndrome is a rare autoimmune syndrome in which the immune system attacks one’s nerves.
Rosenbaum himself uploaded a series of videos to his Instagram Story as he reflected on the shocking revelation.

Wiping your a--, maybe TMI, but might have Ashley assist on the next one. Can’t really believe it.”

“Next steps are figure out if I have plateaued — which I think I have — on my symptoms and definitely stay another night in the hospital,” Rosenbaum said in a medical update. “[I] know there’s a lot of physical therapy.”

“Hopefully I am on the road to recovery… I’m fortunate enough where we caught it early enough to start a treatment early enough where we can now start recovery, but I will know tomorrow once I speak to the doctor,” he said.
