Jimmy Kimmel Says 3-Month-Old Son Is ‘Doing Great’ After Open Heart Surgery
During a powerful opening monologue, Jimmy Kimmel broke down in tears on his late-night show when he opened up about his newborn son’s health struggles and recent open heart surgery. On Friday, the Jimmy Kimmel Live host gave his followers an update on William “Billy” Kimmel and revealed that his youngest child is doing well just three months after he underwent open heart surgery as a newborn, according to People.
“Billy is three months old today and doing great… Thanks for all your love & support and please remind your Congresspeople that every kid deserves the care Billy got.”
Billy underwent the surgery at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles because of his condition, the tetralogy of Fallot with pulmonary atresia.
Nearly three months ago, Kimmel shared the heartbreaking news with viewers. Kimmel’s news drew in much-needed attention to the importance of providing all Americans, especially those with pre-existing conditions, with adequate health care.
