90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way alum Armando Niedermeier-Rubio shared a positive update on his 13-year-old daughter Hannah’s health following her hospitalization.
“She’s improving every day, doing amazing and getting back to her old self slowly but surely,” Niedermeier-Rubio revealed via Instagram on Saturday, July 18. “Although we still have so many unanswered questions as to the cause of her medical emergency and still seeing how she progresses.”
Hannah was hospitalized in Arizona earlier this week after being airlifted from her home in Mexico due to rapidly declining health. Doctors determined that Hannah had blood on brain after she experienced a loss of strength in half of her body as well as facial drooping.
The 13-year-old was accompanied by her grandmother and aunt to Arizona since they are legal residents of the U.S., per the 90 Day star. Armando’s husband, Kenny Niedermeier, joined Hannah at her bedside as he’d been visiting Ohio.
However, Armando was initially turned away at the Mexico-U.S. border until multiple lawmakers intervened to secure him an emergency visa.
In Saturday’s Instagram post, Armando thanked two Arizona politicians, Democrats Rep. Adelita Grijalva and Sen. Mark Kelly, for helping to get permission for him to reunite Hannah at her bedside in Arizona.
“Family, we did it, you did it, I made it to my baby girl! 😭❤️🩹 After campaigning by us, our attorney @kelseyzubkoff and YOU, our amazing supporters for contacting, tagging and using your social media voices to give us national attention & exposure that was needed,” he proudly shared via Instagram. “With that came special attention and thanks to congresswoman @repgrijalva Adelita Grijalva (D) of Arizona who reached out to us to help as she facilitated and advocated for me getting approved & into the states on an emergency humanitarian visa with the help and supporting letters from lawmakers in Arizona including Arizona Senator @senmarkkelly Mark Kelly (D).”
Armando continued, “We are very thankful for the amazing Customs & Border Patrol Officers in Arizona who ultimately approved and signed of[f] on my visa & granted me entry into the United States. Truly speechless at all the love & support for making a moment I doubted would happen, happen! Still in disbelief.”
Alongside an emotional video clip of him hugging Hannah, Armando said his daughter’s medical team thinks their reunion helped in her recovery.
“The medics have even expressed my presence with Hannah is already showing improvements in her which have excelled in the last hours 🥹❤️🩹 Special love for @kenneth_90day my husband who has been nothing short of a stand up husband, father & human, stepping up in my absence,” he wrote. “Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to all ❤️ Cannot express what my heart feels for all of you.”
90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way originally introduced Armando in 2019 when future husband Kenny moved from Florida to live with him in Mexico. The couple tied the knot in 2021.
Kenny has four grown children — Bricen and triplets Madison, Cassidy and Taylor — from a previous relationship. Hannah was born during Armando’s marriage to his late wife.
