However, his relatives later found out that he had a health condition which urgently needed attention.
How Aaron's condition was discovered
In an exclusive interview with YEN.com.gh, Doris noted that after a month of being discharged from the hospital, her mother-in-law observed changes in the baby's physical appearance.
"She told me the baby was losing weight and that he did not look healthy. I observed it, too, and it did not get better. He was losing more weight after a month, two months," she recalled.
In the sixth months, Doris took her son to the hospital for a regular check-up. The nurse caring for the baby advised her to see a nutritionist since his rapid weight loss was unusual.
The nutritionist and other health professionals directed her to run several tests, which she did. One of the tests indicated that the heart of the baby was swollen. Later, the health professionals also found out that there was a hole in the baby's heart.
Aaron needs help for his surgery
Aaron is expected to undergo urgent surgery; however, his parents do not have the necessary funding to support their child's treatment. His parents are expected to pay GH¢212,000 to fund the baby's surgery.
They are, therefore, appealing to the general public for help. Aaron's parents can be reached at 0556280522.
Also, donations for Aaron can be sent to 0556280522 and 0591448070 or via Ahantaman Rural Bank PLC to account number 5501102074001001.
