Alfonso Ribeiro’s Daughter Recovering Well After Scooter Accident
Television personality and Dancing with the Stars host, Alfonso Ribeiro, recently shared some uplifting news about his daughter Ava Sue’s recovery from a scooter accident. Ava, who is four years 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. He commended his daughter for her brave and courageous attitude during the procedure.
Now, Alfonso gives an upbeat update, sharing that his daughter 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 mentioned that the recovery process is slow but going as planned, and Ava is doing fantastically well.
Reflecting on the accident in May, Alfonso explained that he wasn’t present when it happened. However, their nanny was there and immediately realized the seriousness of the situation, prompting them to seek medical attention.
Ava is the daughter of Alfonso and his second wife, Angela Unkrich, whom he married in 2012. They also have two sons, nine-year-old Alfonso “AJ” Lincoln and eight-year-old Anders Reyn. Alfonso also has a twenty-year-old 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 emphasized the importance of the scar gradually fading away for her emotional well-being. Alfonso understands that for a parent, any injury to their child can be distressing. He acknowledges the concern and love parents have for their children, highlighting the emotional impact of such incidents.
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 the young girl 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.
