In a separate post, the Sopranos actress revealed that Beau, with whom she lives and her husband, former Washington Nationals player Cutter Dykstra (35), had been diagnosed with a rare condition called ADEM, which stands for acute disseminated encephalomyelitis.
According to Boston Children’s HospitalADEM ‘involves a short but intense attack of inflammation (swelling) in the brain and spinal cord, which damages the myelin lining of the brain.’
Myelin, also called white matter, is ‘the protective layer of nerve fibers’.
