Quinton Aaron, best known for his portrayal of Michael Oher in the acclaimed film The Blind Side, has been hospitalized after falling seriously ill last week. The 40-year-old actor was rushed to a Southern California medical facility on February 27 after waking up with concerning symptoms, including a high fever and a blood-soaked cough.
A Tough Battle with Illness
Aaron revealed that doctors conducted multiple tests, and the early diagnosis showed that he is battling both Type A flu and pneumonia. To make matters worse, the actor is also suffering from a prolonged migraine as a result of the illness. However, despite these serious health issues, Aaron remains optimistic.
“I’m feeling better after a round of antibiotics,” Aaron said. “I’m no longer coughing up blood, and with the treatment I’m receiving, I’m hopeful I’ll be able to go home soon.”
A Forced Cancellation
Aaron had been scheduled to perform and present at an event in Orange County, but his illness forced him to cancel his appearance. While he was disappointed to miss the event, Aaron’s focus is on recovering fully so he can return to his usual activities soon.
A Previous Health Scare
This isn’t the first time that Aaron has faced health complications related to his lungs. Back in 2019, he spoke publicly about battling a severe upper respiratory infection, which had him seeking medical attention.
Recovery and Optimism
Thankfully, Aaron’s doctors are hopeful about his recovery. He is now set to undergo a PICC line treatment, which is expected to help in his recovery process. Aaron has expressed his gratitude for the care he’s received and remains optimistic that he’ll be back on his feet shortly.
We’re wishing Quinton Aaron a speedy recovery and hope to see him back in action soon.
