A baby born with a rare congenital condition underwent complex heart surgery at six days old. The child, named Rumi, has hypoplastic left heart syndrome, which means part of the heart is underdeveloped. This condition requires multiple surgeries shortly after birth.

The baby's parents, Omar Ahmed and Nausheen Gilkar, waited anxiously during the procedure. They had contracted with a gestational surrogate, McKenna West, an Alaska nurse, through an agency last August.

Further details about the situation and the family's experience are available, including a legal battle involving the parents and the surrogate.
