Jamie-Lynn Sigler shared her heart-wrenching experience of her son Beau being hospitalized due to a life-threatening autoimmune condition last summer. Diagnosed with acute disseminated encephalomyelitis, Beau faced severe symptoms, including pain, weight loss, and a loss of basic motor functions. Sigler, who has lived with Multiple Sclerosis, utilized her knowledge to support her son through his treatment. The ordeal, lasting over a month in the hospital, tested the family's strength and brought Sigler to a point of deep reflection on motherhood and vulnerability.
It was probably the most helpless I've ever been.
There was nothing recognizable about my son. My husband and I would look at each other like, 'Is this really happening?'
My experience understanding the body and inflammation and the brain helped.
Those were the hardest days I've ever had in my entire life.
