Harry Potter star Jessie Cave, who played Lavender Brown in the film franchise, has revealed her 3-month-old son Abraham has been hospitalized with COVID-19. The 33-year-old actress shared the news on Instagram on Tuesday (January 5).
"I watched the news about lockdown from an isolated room in hospital. Poor baby is covid positive," she wrote alongside a photo of Abraham's hospital room. "He’s okay and doing well but they are being vigilant and cautious, thankfully."
"This strain is super powerful and contagious so I do hope that people take extra care in the coming weeks," Cave continued, adding that she "really didn’t want this to be the start of my family's new year. Really didn’t want to be back in a hospital so soon after his traumatic birth. Once again I’m in awe of nurses and doctors. It makes me even more proud of my brother, a&e doctor, and my father, king GP."
She urged her followers to "please wish baby a speedy recovery. He’s 9llbs 7 now so he’s a stronger and bigger boy than he was when we were last in a hospital room (and the needle went into his hand with louder more powerful screams.) Love and best wishes to everyone."
Cave welcomed Abraham back in October. At the time, she shared that her newborn son had to spend time in the hospital before going home. "Needless to say this experience amid the Covid restrictions has been really weird and traumatic," Cave wrote on Instagram shortly after his birth.
Cave is also mother to 7-year-old son Donnie and 4-year-old daughter Margot.
