Alfonso Ribeiro, the star of “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air,” recently faced a challenging situation when his daughter, Ava Sue, had a scooter accident just a day before her fourth birthday.
Ava Sue was riding her sit-down scooter when she fell and got badly hurt. She ended up with serious burns, bruises, and scars on her right elbow, shoulder, and around her right eye.
Both Alfonso and his wife, Angela Ribeiro, shared updates about Ava Sue’s condition on social media.
“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,” Alfonso wrote, sharing photos of Ava Sue and expressing his gratitude to the medical team.
Angela added that she had a feeling something might go wrong, which she called a motherly instinct. “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,” she posted.
Unfortunately, shortly after Angela’s warning, Ava Sue fell off her scooter.
When Ava Sue was taken to Kare MD Skin Health, Dr. Raffy decided she needed surgery to minimize the risk of scarring.
“Not a fun way to spend your last day as a 3-year-old, but she was a trooper,” Angela wrote. “Giving this sweet girl some extra cuddles tonight.”
The staff at Kare MD Skin Health also took to Instagram to wish Ava Sue a happy birthday and thank Alfonso for trusting them with his daughter.
“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.
We wish sweet Ava Sue a speedy recovery and a very happy birthday despite the tough circumstances.
