The actor, who made his debut in Michel Gondry's Be Kind Rewind, is partially using specialised equipment to breathe.
His wife told TMZ Aaron is a "fighter" and that he's "showing a lot of improvement," having hope and faith he will make a full recovery.
This latest development comes almost a year after another hospitalisation, when he was experiencing a fever and bloody cough.

At the time, in March 2025, Aaron told the same media outlet he had undergone testing at a Southern California medical facility, where doctors said he was likely suffering from Type A flu and pneumonia.
In 2019, he faced another health issue, being hospitalised for upper respiratory infection and a bronchitis flare up, being sick "for the past couple months."
He shared an update via an Instagram video at the time, telling his fans, "I'm out, everything is all good... I'm gonna go take my medicines. I'm about to go home and take a nap because I'm tired, couldn't sleep, people walking in my room at all hours of the night."
Aaron made his film debut in Be Kind Rewind, going on to appear in Law and Order and Law and Order: SVU before getting his big break.
In The Blind Side, he portrayed real-life NFL player Michael Oher and his story of dealing with an impoverished and complicated background to become a star player, with the film based on Michael Lewis's 2006 book The Blind Side: Evolution of a Game.
