Television personality and host of Dancing with the Stars, Alfonso Ribeiro, recently shared some uplifting news about his daughter Ava Sue’s recovery from a scooter accident. The brave four-year-old had to undergo emergency surgery after falling off her sit-down scooter and sustaining significant injuries.
In an Instagram post, Alfonso expressed his gratitude for the urgent care and surgery provided by @kareskinmd. Despite the frightening incident, he commended his daughter for her courage during the procedure.
Now, Alfonso gives an upbeat update, stating that Ava is doing great and recovering wonderfully. As they look forward to celebrating the Fourth of July, Ava is expected to be there, showcasing her progress. Alfonso emphasized that the recovery process is slow but going as planned, and Ava is doing fantastically well.
The Importance of Emotional Healing
Reflecting on the accident in May, Alfonso mentioned that he wasn’t present when it happened. However, their nanny responded promptly and sought medical attention, realizing the seriousness of the situation.
Ava is the daughter of Alfonso and his second wife, Angela Unkrich, whom he married in 2012. They also have two sons, Alfonso “AJ” Lincoln and Anders Reyn. Alfonso has a daughter named Sienna from his previous marriage to Robin Stapler.
Proudly discussing Ava’s tenacity, Alfonso shared that she is still able to move around despite the healing scar. He understands that for a parent, any injury to their child can be distressing, no matter how small the external scar may be. Alfonso emphasized the importance of the scar gradually fading away for her emotional well-being.
Alfonso acknowledges the concern and love parents have for their children, highlighting the emotional impact of such incidents. He and Ava’s mother, Angela, have been supportive and loving throughout the recovery process.
Angela’s Intuition and Resilience
Ava’s mother, Angela, also took to Instagram to share her thoughts at the time of the accident. She expressed her intuition about a potential visit to the emergency room and cautioned against any activities that could potentially lead to harm. Unfortunately, her warning was forgotten, and Ava had the accident the day before her birthday.
Despite the unfortunate incident, Angela praised her daughter’s resilience. She requested extra cuddles to comfort Ava after what was not an ideal way to spend her last day as a three-year-old.
The Ribeiro family is grateful for the support they have received during this challenging time. They remain hopeful and optimistic about Ava’s continued recovery, and their experience serves as a reminder to cherish every moment with their loved ones.
