Surrogate, California couple clash in court as newborn fights for life after heart surgery

A custody dispute has erupted in Texas between intended parents Nausheen Gilkar and Omar Ahmed and surrogate McKenna West over their newborn's medical care. The baby is critically ill following an open-heart Norwood procedure for hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) and required re-intubation due to worsening conditions. The conflict involves arguments over the surrogacy process, refusal to terminate the pregnancy, and who has the authority to make critical decisions.
