Erin McNaught’s baby son diagnosed with brain tumour
|
Australian couple Erin McNaught and Stace Cadet have been left heartbroken after their seven-month-old son was diagnosed with a brain tumour.
The model and the record producer had noticed a “rapid decline” in their little one Obi’s behaviour and happiness in recent weeks.
The couple took him to hospital, where a neurosurgeon delivered the news that he has a “large brain tumour” on the right side, leaving the pair “absolutely shattered”.
“For the last few weeks we have noticed a rapid decline in Obi’s behaviour and happiness,” they wrote in a joint post on Instagram.
“He was having problems eating, sleeping and most recently, keeping his head straight.”
The couple said they remain hopeful the mass can be removed and their boy can be happy and healthy again, and described their team at the Queensland Children’s Hospital as “incredible”.
“We have a long and difficult road ahead us but are so lucky to have our family and friends’ support at this time and we’re keeping focussed on getting our little boy back.”
The couple welcomed Obi into the world in October 2024.
Stace Cadet, whose real name is Stasi Kotaras, said at the time: “We are so in love with him, we can’t believe he’s finally here.”
“Fair to say we didn’t get a lot of sleep when we got home from the hospital last night. Mostly because we can’t take our eyes off him.”
