Jamie-Lynn Sigler’s 10-Year-Old Son Beau Leaves Hospital 33 Days After ‘Nightmare’ Diagnosis

Jamie-Lynn Sigler shared on Instagram that her son Beau, 10, has left the hospital after 33 days following his diagnosis of a 'nightmare' rare inflammatory autoimmune disorder.

The Sopranos actress, 43, shared a heartwarming video on Instagram over the weekend of her 10-year-old son Beau “busting out” of the hospital to cheers from medical staff after being diagnosed with the rare inflammatory autoimmune disorder, acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM). Following Beau's hospital exit, Sigler also reshared a post on her Instagram Stories about having a “Lifequake,” defining it as, “A significant, sudden and unexpected shift in the trajectory of your life that initially feels devastating but has the beneficial outcome of catalyzing personal growth, transformation and rebirth." ADEM is an acute, rapidly progressive autoimmune disease that affects the brain and spinal cord, which is typically caused by inflammation due to a prior infection or immunization, per the National Institute of Health.
