Answer :

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatoh
The statements your husband made were in the state of anger. We are sure that, as a father, he will also be regretting the statements he made and will hope for the well-being of the child.
As far as the effect of the statements he has made are concerned, it is true that there are certain times where duas are accepted without any delay, but there is also a greater possibility that he may not have made the statements at that time.
Moreover, the doors of dua are still not closed. You could keep on making dua for the well-being and piety of your child at all times. The chances of you making dua at the time of acceptance are far greater than the chances that your husband statements would have been made during the time of acceptance.
And Allah knows best
