‘The Blind Side’ Actor
On Life Support, But Signs Are Positive
Published
Quinton Aaron — the actor who played Michael Oher in “The Blind Side” — is on life support after being hospitalized following a collapse at his home … but there are some positive signs for his recovery.
Quinton’s wife, Margarita, tells TMZ … the medical devices helping keep Quinton alive aren’t doing all the work, and he’s partially breathing on his own, which gives the family hope.
We’re told Quinton’s been hospitalized for 4 days now … and with each passing day, he shows more signs of improvement.
Quinton’s wife says he has a blood infection and doctors are still running a battery of tests to determine the source of the issue.
Margarita tells us her husband woke up one morning feeling sore but thought it was from a bad sleep … a few days later, with pain still in his neck and his back, Quinton was walking up the stairs when he lost feeling in his legs.
Quinton’s wife, who is a registered nurse, says she rushed to his side and helped him up the stairs … he laid down, and she called 911 … with Quinton slipping in and out of consciousness on his way to the hospital, where doctors recommended life support.
Margarita says her husband is “a fighter” and adds … “He’s showing a lot of improvement. We all have faith in God that he will walk out of here fully recovered.”
