Model Erin McNaught Gives Update After Baby Boy's Brain Tumor Surgery
Originally appeared on E! Online Erin McNaught's baby boy is on the mend. The Australian model shared a health update on her 8-month-old son Obi after he was diagnosed with a large tumor on the right side of his brain. Alongside a video of her and boyfriend (real name Stasi Kotaras) comforting their child in the hospital, Erin wrote on Instagram July 14, "It's 1 month today since Obi had surgery to remove a massive brain tumor that he was only diagnosed with a few days prior." "Stas and I woke early, and while he went to the hospital, I stayed for a little while longer, trying to deal with what was about to happen," she recalled. "I stood on the balcony and watched the sunrise and sobbed so hard I couldn't breathe. The thought that this sunrise might be the last one we saw with him still here on this earth was unbearable." Fortunately, the 43-year-old said Obi "made it through the surgery" and the family was able to return to the balcony to watch the sunset. "Since then, Obi has blown us away with his recovery," Erin continued. "Day by day, achieving more and more. We still don't know what his future holds, but then again no one ever does. For now we are filled with joy, and happiness, and a deep sense of gratitude." More from E!

And we love each other the hardest." Erin said she and Stace, a music producer, initially decided to take Obi to the hospital in June when they noticed a "rapid decline" in his behavior. "He was having problems eating, sleeping and most recently, keeping his head straight," the influencer shared on Instagram June 11, explaining that Obi was diagnosed with a "large brain tumor on the right side of his brain" after getting an MRI scan. Obi underwent surgery shortly after his diagnosis, with the entire operation lasting a "terrifying" six hours, according to Erin. "For now we are just focusing on his recovery," she wrote on Instagram June 26. "To watch him laugh, play and observe the world again as a happy baby has brought us so much joy and although there is a long road ahead we are incredibly grateful he is no longer in pain."

Erin McNaught gives update on her eight-month-old son after his brain tumour diagnosis: 'This sunrise might be the last one'
Erin McNaught has shared a health update with her fans after her eight-month-old son Obi underwent surgery to remove a brain tumour. The Australian model, 43, revealed on Monday that her son has been 'achieving more and more' each day as he recovers. 'It's 1 month today since Obi had surgery to remove a massive brain tumour that he was only diagnosed with a few days prior,' she wrote on Instagram. Erin then recalled how she felt on the day of her son's surgery after she and partner Stace Cadet woke up early and went to the hospital. 'I stood on the balcony and watched the sunrise and sobbed so hard I couldn't breathe. The thought that this sunrise might be the last one we saw with him still here on this earth was unbearable,' she said.

'When he made it through the surgery, we returned to the balcony and watched the sunset and we cried again together. 'Since then, Obi has blown us away with his recovery. Day by day, achieving more and more.' Erin said she doesn't 'know what the future holds but is filled with joy, and happiness, and a deep sense of gratitude.' 'We hold him close, and we hold our big boys, and we marvel at our little family, and how lucky we are. And we love each other the hardest.' Erin revealed her son Obi had underwent surgery to remove a brain tumour last month. She shared a photo to social media which captured her kissing her young son on the chest while he lay on a hospital bed and captioned it with some heartwarming words. 'Today Obi had the surgery to remove the tumour. The amazing team here are very happy with the way it went,' Erin began. 'While it's too early to tell much more, we are hoping this will have been his biggest hurdle. She went on to thank her followers for their support during this difficult time. 'Taking each day as it comes but oh so thankful for today. Thank you everyone for all your beautiful messages of support.' Earlier in the week, Erin and her partner Stace Cadet shared the devastating news about Obi being diagnosed with a brain tumour. The couple, who welcomed their first child together in October last year, issued an emotional joint statement, expressing their anguish over Obi's recent health battle. 'For the last few weeks we have noticed a rapid decline in Obi's behaviour and happiness,' the statement began. 'He was having problems eating, sleeping and most recently, keeping his head straight.' They explained that after noticing the worrying changes they took Obi in for an MRI scan under the advice of their doctor. The scan, conducted earlier in the week, revealed the shocking diagnosis - a large tumour located on the right side of his brain. 'At about 6:00pm Tuesday night we met with a neurosurgeon who broke the heartbreaking news,' they said. 'We are absolutely shattered and the last few days have been our hardest days.' The harrowing update follows what was initially a joyful start to parenthood for Erin and Stace, who confirmed the birth of their son exclusively to Daily Mail Australia back in December following his birth in October. The couple shared at the time that they had named him Obi and were over the moon to bring him home. 'We are so in love with him, we can't believe he's finally here,' Stace said in December. The former MTV host also previously opened up about her difficult pregnancy, revealing the journey had been 'a little touch and go at times,' with health complications in the final trimester.
