Read more On the stand, West told their attorney, Lee Budner, that if the court finds that the couple are committed to the baby receiving the surgeries, she would drop any custody claims. Gilkar told the court that the baby had no blood flow to the left side of his heart. Since surgery, she said, he has gasped for air, choked on tubes and needed a blood transfusion. "He's the most beautiful person I've ever seen," Gilkar said. "He's the love of our lives. He's suffering a lot." Gilkar told the court that she entered the contract after going through eight rounds of in vitro fertilization in Los Angeles and her body "gave up." She had to undergo a hysterectomy, she said.
