Right now, his family needs support.
They’ve shared updates and asked fans to send prayers, positive energy, and donations. His wife, Margarita Aaron, told TMZ that Quinton opened his eyes and gave a thumbs up after four days in the hospital. That moment brought hope, but doctors still work to identify the source of the infection.

In addition, the family posted an update on GoFundMe.
The message said Quinton has some feeling in his foot, but he still needs life support. It also noted that he will likely require a wheelchair and therapy once doctors discharge him.
