The 'Hollyoaks' star's three-year-old son Stanley has been unwell this week, and she "can't wait" for him to be back to 100 per cent.
She wrote on Instagram: "I've had the most emotionally draining & stressful week of my life.
I can't wait for my little man to be back to full health first & foremost (sic)"
And the 38-year-old actress hinted she had taken some time off from 'Hollyoaks' - on which she portrays Mandy Morgan - to care for her little one, admitting when he is fighting fit again she will be glad to be back acting alongside Steph Waring (Cindy Cunningham).
She added: "Then I can't wait to be back on set doing a job that I love & working with people that make me smile. Love ya @stephwaring
Fingers crossed it won't be much longer before I'm back (sic)"
Sarah previously admitted she would love Stanley to appear in 'Hollyoaks' one day.
Speaking in 2017, said: "'Hollyoaks' coming along again has been perfect in terms of where Stanley was, and where I am.
"It's been like going back to work from maternity leave.
"Stanley has already been outside the Dog in the Pond [pub]. I might try and get him a cameo."
Sarah returned to the Channel 4 soap in 2017 after a six-year break, and she loved seeing some familiar faces in the village.
The star added: "It's like coming home. It's lovely and I'm having a really nice time. It didn't take long to fit back in and there's still people here that I've known since I was 14."
