Alfonso Ribeiro mentioned that his four-year-old daughter would require “months” to heal from her “frightening” injuries.
Ava Sue, the adorable four-year-old daughter of Alfonso Ribeiro, is currently recovering from a recent scooter accident.
However, the resilient young girl is showing remarkable progress, much to the relief of her father, well-known as the host of Dancing with the Stars.
The incident occurred just a day before Ava’s fourth birthday, and it was a day no one would want. Alfonso, 51, expressed his heartfelt thanks on Instagram, appreciating the medical professionals at @kareskinmd for their quick and skilled care.
Thanks to their expertise, scarring has been significantly minimized. Alfonso also couldn’t help but admire his daughter’s bravery during the entire surgical procedure.
Recently, Alfonso gave an optimistic update, sharing that Ava is doing remarkably well despite the challenging and frightening moments they’ve faced.
He eagerly mentioned Ava joining the Fourth of July celebrations in Washington, D.C., noting she will be there with the family and highlighting her remarkable recovery progress.
Alfonso acknowledged that the procedure has been extensive and prolonged, but he couldn’t be prouder of Ava’s impressive recovery. Reflecting on the accident in May, Alfonso noted he wasn’t present when it happened.
Thankfully, their nanny was there to provide immediate help, and Alfonso was informed right away, prompting them to seek medical attention promptly. Alfonso and Angela Unkrich, his second wife whom he married in 2012, share the joy of being Ava’s parents.
They also have two other wonderful children together, nine-year-old Alfonso “AJ” Lincoln and eight-year-old Anders Reyn. It’s noteworthy that Alfonso also has a twenty-year-old daughter named Sienna from his previous marriage to Robin Stapler.
The proud father of four couldn’t help but praise Ava’s remarkable strength and resilience, fully aware that the recovery process might be lengthy.
Alfonso happily shared, “She’s still active and moving around,” emphasizing that although the wound has technically healed, it will take time for the noticeable scar to fade.
He acknowledged that while the scar may not be significant medically, it holds great emotional weight for a parent concerned about their child’s well-being.
Angela, Ava’s loving mother, also took to Instagram to express her concern and love for her precious little one during the incident. She revealed that she had a premonition or motherly intuition in the morning, foreseeing Ava’s visit to the emergency room.
Angela clarified that safety and caution were paramount to everyone involved in preparing for Ava’s birthday celebrations, including family, friends, and the babysitter. Little did she know that her words would later resonate deeply with everyone present.
As Ava Sue continues her journey toward full recovery, Alfonso Ribeiro and Angela Unkrich are deeply grateful for the support and the progress their brave daughter has made.
Their unwavering love and commitment stand as a testament to the strength of their family bond, which remains unshakable even in challenging times.
