Newborn's condition worsens after heart surgery as Texas court delays custody ruling

A Dallas judge extended a restraining order preventing surrogate McKenna West from seeing or making medical decisions for her newborn, who is in critical condition after complications from a heart surgery. The biological parents, Nausheen Gilkar and Omar Ahmed, testified they are committed to the child's care, while West maintains she cannot trust them to provide life-saving treatment. The case, which began with a dispute over a requested abortion, remains unresolved as the court delays a final custody decision.
