Jimmy Kimmel has praised his “brave” son after the seven-year-old underwent open heart surgery for the third time.
The late-night talk show host, 56, told fans that his son – who was born with a rare congenital heart condition – had undergone cardiac surgery in a post shared on social media dedicated to his family and the staff at the hospital where Billy was treated.
“This weekend, our boy Billy had his third (of three, we hope) open heart surgery,” Kimmel said on Instagram. “We went into this experience with a lot of optimism and nearly as much fear and came out with a new valve inside a happy, healthy kid.”
The comedian thanked the fans who took time to “pray” for Billy during his surgery, and encouraged readers to consider donating money to the LA Children’s Hospital, where Billy has been treated since he received his first open heart surgery when he was just three days old.
