Alfonso Ribeiro and his wife, Angela Ribeiro, took to social media to provide updates on their daughter, Ava Sue’s condition.
According to reports, Ava Sue had to undergo emergency surgery on May 12 after falling off her sit-down scooter, just a day before her 4th birthday, to prevent scarring.
Alfonso shared images of Ava’s injuries, which included severe bruising and burns on her right elbow, shoulder, and around her right eye. He expressed gratitude towards the medical team at Kare MD Skin Health and expressed his pride in Ava’s bravery.
In his Instagram post, the star of “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” expressed his disappointment about the day before his daughter’s fourth birthday.
He thanked Kare MD Skin Health for their emergency services and procedure to reduce the chances of scarring. He also commended his daughter for her bravery during the surgery.
Ava’s mother, Angela, shared more details about the accident, revealing her premonition and motherly intuition. She described a moment when she gathered the family, kids, sitter, and friends who were preparing for Ava’s birthday party.
Angela emphasized that they should avoid anything risky or dangerous that could lead to a trip to the emergency room and made everyone pay attention to her words.
Unfortunately, Angela’s cautionary words were not heeded, as shortly after she expressed her warning, Ava had an accident and fell off her scooter.
