Jamie-Lynn Sigler Says Son Beau, 11, Is 'Coming Out on the Other Side' Following Autoimmune Diagnosis (Exclusive)
Jamie-Lynn Sigler says her son Beau is "doing really, really well" following his diagnosis with the rare inflammatory autoimmune disorder, acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM).
"I'm proud of him, and he's coming out on the other side and so, for me as a mom, I'm doing a lot better, too," The Sopranos actress, 43, tells PEOPLE in an exclusive interview about her new campaign for Alexa Emergency Assist, a personalized safety service available through Amazon Echo devices. ADEM is an acute, rapidly progressive autoimmune disease that affects the brain and spinal cord and is typically caused by inflammation due to a prior infection or immunization, per the National Institute of Health. In a conversation just hours after her other son, Jack, 6, went to his first day of school, Sigler reflected on the tumult of the recent weeks and the importance of maintaining a safety plan at hom in case of medical emergencies.
