In August, Sigler's son was diagnosed with the rare inflammatory autoimmune disorder, acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM)
Jamie-Lynn Sigler's son doesn't remember his recent hospitalization.
On Sigler and Christina Applegate's podcast Messy on Tuesday, Sept. 17, the actress, 43, shared that her son Beau, 11, who was hospitalized in August and diagnosed with the rare inflammatory autoimmune disorder, acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM), has "no memory" of his time in the hospital.
"The brain is wild that he has no memory of what he went through," she shared. "We talked about and prayed that he wouldn't. He has not a single memory of anything, up until the last week in the hospital."
"I'm proud of him and I almost feel like I'm numb to my own emotions and dealing with it. I'm sure it will come up at some point and I'll deal with it," Sigler said.
In August, Sigler revealed on Instagram that her son was recently diagnosed with acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM), a rare and severe inflammatory autoimmune disorder affecting the central nervous system, per the National Institute of Health.
“4 weeks ago, what seemed like a normal virus for our son, turned into a nightmare,” Sigler wrote alongside a photo of the mother-son duo smiling for the camera. “Beau has what we believe to be, ADEM.”
“To say this has been hard, is an understatement, and I’ve never felt more broken…,” she added.
ADEM causes inflammation in a person’s central nervous system, which leads to symptoms like headache, confusion, weakness and numbness, per the Cleveland Clinic. According to the health center, research suggests ADEM triggers when a person’s immune system responds to a viral or bacterial threat “abnormally.”
A few weeks later, Beau left the hospital to cheers from medical staff. “After 33 days, we are busting out of here! My brave boy, you are a walking miracle,” Sigler wrote alongside the clip shared on Aug. 16. “The rest of this story will be Beau’s to tell, if he chooses to one day.”
“Thank you to the INCREDIBLE staff at Dells Children’s Hospital. The way you take care of your patients and the way you guide their families through the process, I just don’t have enough words,” she continued. “I’m in awe of your patience, dedication, and expertise … But, no offense ... I hope we never see you again✌️.”
“Thank you all for the love and prayers. They worked. 🙏🏻🩷,” Sigler concluded.
The Quran - Chapter Nuh: 25
So because of their sins, they were drowned, then admitted into the Fire. And they found none to help them against Allah.
