He thanked Kare MD Skin Health for their emergency service and for conducting a procedure that would reduce the chances of scarring. He also expressed his pride in how bravely his daughter faced the surgery.
Ava’s mother, Angela, provided more insight into the incident. She mentioned that on the morning of Ava’s accident, she had a premonition or “motherly intuition” that her daughter might be at risk. She even cautioned her family, babysitter, and friends who were preparing for Ava’s birthday party to avoid any potentially dangerous activities to prevent an emergency room visit. She insisted that everyone took her warning seriously.
Despite Angela’s warning, Ava’s accident occurred when she fell off her scooter not long after. To minimize the risk of future scarring, Ava was taken to Kare MD Skin Health and treated by Dr. Raffy after hours.
