Jamie-Lynn Sigler’s son Beau has finally left the hospital.

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).

“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 preview photo of the post showed Beau standing with his back to the camera in what appeared to be a waiting room pointing to himself as a caption above him read, “Heros this way,” with an arrow pointing to the left.

In the video shared, a smiling Beau walked down the hospital corridor to loud cheers from medical staff and patients, who lined each side of the corridor as they watched him leave. At one point, the 10-year-old skipped down the hallway as he high-fived some of those cheering him on.

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.”

Her latest hopeful post regarding Beau comes after revealing his “nightmare” diagnosis on Instagram on Aug. 6.

“4 weeks ago, what seemed like a normal virus for our son, turned into a nightmare,” she wrote alongside a photo of her and Beau smiling at the time. “Beau has what we believe to be, ADEM.”

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.

“To say this has been hard, is an understatement, and I’ve never felt more broken,” Sigler continued, adding, however, that she has also never felt more love” from her supportive friends and family, including her husband Cutter Dykstra and son Jack, 6.

Sigler shared on her MeSsy podcast with Christina Applegate that ahead of Beau being admitted to the hospital, his symptoms included having a 105-degree fever, “screaming” that his head hurt, and being unable to eat and urinate.

“It was and has been like the darkest, hardest, most f—ed up thing I’ve ever been through,” Sigler said on the podcast on Aug. 6, adding that she thought her son was “dying.”
