According to Tylil, Max couldn’t move his neck or his right arm. Plaque began giving fans sporadic updates from the hospital over the next week, showing himself lying in bed and urging fans to be thankful for their health.
Ten days later, on September 25, Max finally gave viewers another update, revealing that he’s been suffering from some kind of infection.
“I got a super bad infection,” he explained in a video from his hospital room. “Doctors saying they’ve never seen an infection like this. …the infection was so bad, I couldn’t move my arm at all. It hurt like hell when I walked. I could barely walk.”

Thankfully, the streamer revealed that he’s started to regain some movement in his right arm, but still hasn’t been discharged from the hospital despite doctors telling him he might be able to leave five days prior.
“I hope I get out soon. I hope y’all are doing well. Without y’all and God, I am nothing. …thank you.”
