Quinton Aaron, the actor famous for his role as Michael Oher in “The Blind Side,” is facing significant health challenges following a recent hospitalization. Doctors have discovered a rare cyst on his spine after a series of tests, prompting further examinations to determine if the cyst is benign.
Sources close to the family reported that back surgery is now a potential option, which would require the 40-year-old actor to undergo extensive physical therapy. There is concern that he may need to use a wheelchair for a period of time during his recovery.
Over the weekend, reports emerged that Quinton was rushed to an Atlanta hospital after experiencing a sudden loss of mobility in his legs while walking in his apartment. He has been hospitalized for five days and was placed on life support. However, his wife Margarita provided a hopeful update on Monday, sharing that Quinton has opened his eyes and gave a thumbs up, indicating some signs of improvement.
While the situation remains serious, the news of his responsiveness offers a glimmer of hope as doctors continue to assess his condition. The support from fans and loved ones during this time will undoubtedly play a crucial role in his recovery journey.
