No child wants to spend the day before their birthday in the hospital. But after crashing a scooter, Ava Ribeiro required an emergency surgery for pretty serious injuries to her face and arms.

But even that couldn’t keep the little girl down for long. She still got to have her Rapunzel-themed birthday party the next day.

“Happy Birthday to my sweet Ava Sue. As some of you know Ava had a very difficult week. I’m so proud of how well she handled everything. She’s so brave strong and creative,” the DWTS host captioned his Instagram post on Ava’s birthday.

“I love everything about my little girl. On a side note I’m forever grateful to @mrsangelaribeiro1 for being so amazing during this time,” he continued. “Long nights with a little girl in pain and having to apply medication every few hours. My two hero’s.”

But the good news is that it didn’t seem like Ava was down for very long. Her mother Angela shared that she still had an excellent birthday party, despite the injuries.

It really seems like Ava Ribeiro is a very resilient little girl.

This week, Alfonso shared that Ava is more or less back to her old self. In an Instagram story, he reshared someone else’s story, featuring little Ava bouncing a basketball and playing.

Although it was definitely an unpleasant incident, it seems like the family can put it behind them and move forward.
