Alexia Echevarria

A Very Different Reality

Alexia opens up about Frankie's accident and how her life has changed.

Sep 13, 2012

I would like to start my blog this first episode by thanking all of the fans of the show for your prayers, love, and support this past year. Your love and support made it easier for me to make the decision to come back, along with the fact that God blessed us with Frankie's miraculous recovery. My reality and my life this time around is very different from Season 1, and for that matter very different from the other ladies’ lives in Season 2. I couldn’t see the girls as much, because my day-to-day routine is filled with, first and foremost, Frankie's therapies -- physical, occupational, and speech in the mornings; aqua therapy and music therapy in the afternoons; all while trying to integrate myself back into the magazine and my life at home with Peter and Herman. I had been totally withdrawn and consumed for six months while at the
hospital with Frankie and at the rehabilitation facility in Atlanta.

I was excited to see the new girls and the “original” ones as well. I had kept in touch with and seen Marysol, Ana, Lea, and Adriana. I knew Karent socially and was very surprised with her cold greeting, but was even more surprised that she showed up with Rodolfo and that Rodolfo didn't know Ana.

That afternoon at Smith and Wollensky with the girls was entertaining and interesting to say the least. I observed closely how everyone interacted with one another and was happy after all that I got to get out for a while and laugh.

I'm really Happy to see you back this season, you were easily one of my favorites last season on the RHOM! I think if you hadn't returned, I might not even have watched the first episode this year. Looking forward to seeing more of you Alexia!

Alexia, My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. I am so sorry to hear that you almost lost your son. I know God is your strength to help you get through each and everyday. I am sending lots of prayers for a healthy recovery. Also I am glad that you were able to get out and that we will be able to see you a little more whether it is here and there-that would be enough. But first and foremost your family comes first.

Alexia,

Like you, my sons are my life. I'm sorry you have had to deal with almost losing your son, and and I'm sure in many ways you have lost him. I applaud you for helping him every second of everyday to find his way back. You are blessed to have them in your life and I only pray that continue to have great health.

Alexia,

My heart as many others go out to you. I can't imagine going through that.  When things like this happen, it really makes you realize what's really important in life. Puts things in prespective. I hope that maybe you can somehow (after you heal of course, or somewhat heal) can maybe somehow help other who are in this situation that you were in. 

Good luck to you.

Alexia, you have been one of my favorite housewives of all the series from day one. You clearly knew what was most important in life, even before your son's accident. My heart goes out to you, and I am so relieved and happy that he's been able to recover so miraculously. I am so glad that you returned. We want to see your reality, so thank you for putting yourself out there at such a rough and vulnerable time in your life.

I have raised 4 sons myself and I have gotten that phone call, "Mrs. __, theres been an accendent. It takes 10 years off your life! Sending up prayers for you & your son. What you have gone thru slaps a person with the knowledge of how fast our world can crumble. There is NO LOVE greater than we have for our babies and no sorrow greater than when they are hurting!

I did not know the seriousness of your son's accident. So heartbreaking! I'm so glad he is recovering. My heart broke a few times watching you break down in the previews for the whole season :(
