On social media, Alfonso and Angela Ribeiro have both shared updates on the condition of their daughter Ava Sue.
The child apparently fell off her sit-down scooter the day before her fourth birthday and needed emergency surgery to have any potential scars removed on Friday, May 12.
Alfonso shared pictures of Ava’s injuries, which included significant bruising and severe burns on her right elbow, shoulder, and area around her right eye. He praised the medical personnel at Kare MD Skin Health and expressed his gratitude for her bravery.
The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air star wrote in his Instagram post: “Not the kind of day you want the day before turning 4. Just want to give a heartfelt thank you to [Kare MD Skin Health] for the emergency service and procedure to help lessen the likelihood of [scarring]. So proud of how brave my baby girl was during the surgery.”
Meanwhile, Ava’s mom, Angela, went into greater detail about the events leading up to her daughter’s accident, admitting that she’d had a hunch that morning that Ava would be put in danger.
She called it “a vision/motherly intuition” in her writing:
“I announced to the fam, kids, sitter & friends helping out getting ready for Ava’s birthday party that ‘we are not doing anything crazy or dangerous today that could potentially end up with an ER visit.’ I literally made everyone lock eyes to me when I said these words.”
Nonetheless, Angela’s remarks were obviously not taken seriously enough, as Ava fell off her scooter shortly after she had disclosed her warning.
After Ava’s injury, her parents rushed her to see Dr. Raffy at Kare MD Skin Health, even though it was after hours.
They hoped that Dr. Raffy might help reduce the likelihood that Ava would develop scars.
“Not a fun way to spend your last day as a 3-year old, but she was a trooper,” Angela added.
“Giving this sweet girl some extra cuddles tonight.”
Ava’s coworkers at Kare MD Skin Health celebrated her birthday on May 12 by posting an Instagram message to their own account.
“Thank you for the very kind words [Alfonso]. We are so honored to take care of your precious princess Ava. Best wishes for a speedy recovery,” they wrote in the caption.
I think we can all agree that each time one of our children is wounded, it is terrifying. I’m relieved to hear that Alfonso and Angela’s baby is doing better.
