“Yes, we’ve all been dealing with THE virus the last few weeks,” said Lundberg. “Michael and Lyra caught it first and then, inevitably, so did I. It’s been very challenging for all of us but luckily we’re all much better now than we were. Thankfully I was lucky to only have relatively mild symptoms, which meant that I could keep focusing on Lyra and Michael.”
“I’m extremely grateful for our recovery and the support we’ve had from friends and family. X,” she added.
