According to Saab, she is on her 3rd day and disclosed her condition.

"I'm on Day 3 since I tested positive and the headaches have been wild, especially in the mornings. Thankful for the video calls with my boys although it's hard not to cry."

As a mom of two young boys, Pancho and Vito, she admitted that she is having a difficult time being isolated from them.

Saab wrote in her Instagram caption, "Pancho called me at 3pm today when he woke up from his nap and signed for me to pray with him #GoodFriday! Vito keeps asking me when I'll be home from Linya-Linya "

Saab confessed that it's more difficult to be away from her children than to experience the effects of COVID-19.

"Despite the vomiting and splitting headaches, the most difficult part of this is being away from my boys and hearing them cry when I have to say goodbye on our video calls."

As she is away, Saab expressed her gratitude for the help she received in caring for Pancho and Vito.

"So thankful for our girls here at home, Cheng and Analiza for taking such great care of the boys, especially while Jim also had to isolate just to be safe. Lanie for preparing my soups, cold compress, and all."


At the end of her post, Saab thanked her husband, Jim Bacarro, for being a great supporter in her battle against COVID-19.

"Thankful that Jim is such a sweetheart and my biggest cheerleader Can't wait to hug you "

Get well soon, Saab!
