Newborn in surrogacy dispute critical after heart surgery

A newborn at the center of a contentious surrogacy and custody battle is in critical condition following complex heart surgery, according to court documents filed by his biological parents. The infant, born on August 12, 2026, in Dallas, Texas, underwent a Norwood procedure earlier this week to treat a severe congenital heart defect. His biological parents, Nausheen Gilkar and Omar Ahmed of California, reported in filings obtained by TMZ that the child's condition declined significantly in the last 24 hours, requiring him to be placed back on a breathing tube.
