She said she assisted him up before calling emergency services who transported him to hospital in a semi-conscious state.<\/p>\n
Doctors attending Aaron recommended he be put on life support.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s showing a lot of improvement,\u201d said Margarita who called her husband a \u201cfighter\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe all have faith in God that he will walk out of here fully recovered.\u201d<\/p>\n
A family source revealed to TMZ that doctors have since discovered a rare cyst on Aaron\u2019s spine.<\/p>\n
It is understood Aaron has been in hospital for five days, with doctors continuing to run tests to determine whether the cyst is benign.<\/p>\n
According to Margarita, Aaron was a \u201clittle lucid\u201d but largely unresponsive.<\/p>\n
\u201cI did at least get a thumbs-up out of him when I chatted with him, which was promising,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
A GoFundMe page initiated by the Veterans Aid Network to support Aaron\u2019s recovery, described his warm nature.<\/p>\n
\u201cQuinton is one of the kindest, most genuine people you could ever meet,\u201d the page read.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe shows up for others. He encourages, uplifts, and gives freely of himself, often without asking for anything in return.<\/p>\n
The page, which has raised nearly $68,000 so far, described the situation as \u201csudden, frightening and overwhelming\u201d for his loved ones, who are \u201cfacing an immense emotional and financial burden\u201d.<\/p>\n
People reported this was not Aaron\u2019s first health scare.<\/p>\n
The 41-year-old, who has spoken openly about his struggles with obesity, was rushed to hospital in 2024 after coughing up blood and experiencing a fever.<\/p>\n
Doctors believed he was suffering from pneumonia and Type A influenza.<\/p>\n
In October, Aaron revealed via Instagram that he had lost more than 90kg.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am overwhelmed and blessed to announce that I have reached another cool milestone in my life,\u201d he wrote. <\/p>\n
\u201cToday when weighing myself, I noticed that I reached the 200 pound marker.\u201d<\/p>\n
Aaron said he was only 25kg short of his 145kg goal weight.<\/p>\n
