LOS ANGELES\u2014Television host Jimmy Kimmel disclosed on his talk show,\u00a0“Jimmy Kimmel Live,”<\/em>\u00a0that his infant son underwent open heart surgery three days after his\u00a0birth upon\u00a0being diagnosed with a heart condition known as\u00a0tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) with pulmonary atresia.<\/p>\n

William John “Billy” Kimmel, the second child of Kimmel and his wife, Molly McNearney, was born at Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles on April 21. Three hours after what he described as an “easy delivery” that took six pushes, one of the nurses, reportedly named Nanoush, heard a “murmur” coming from his heart.<\/p>\n

\"Kimmel<\/a>
Kimmel tweeted this photo of his daughter (Jane Kimmel), wife (Molly McNearney), and son Billy on Tuesday after receiving condolences from fans.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Although she\u00a0stated that it is relatively common for newborns, she noticed that Billy was purple in color, which is not common.<\/p>\n

Billy was taken into the neonatal ICU where additional medical practitioners came together to address the infant’s condition.<\/p>\n

Kimmel noted that at that time, McNearney\u00a0was placed in\u00a0the hospital’s recovery room and was unaware that their newborn\u00a0was under the watch of several doctors and nurses, all of whom were “very worried-looking,” Kimmel described.<\/p>\n

After visiting a pediatric cardiologist and undergoing an\u00a0echocardiogram, the infant was diagnosed with TOF and sent to Children’s Hospital Los Angeles to receive emergency open heart surgery, which Kimmel said was successful.\u00a0The infant will reportedly undergo future procedures\u00a0due to the severity of his heart condition, which specialists found was blocking\u00a0his pulmonary valve.<\/p>\n

Kimmel ended his disclosure\u00a0on Monday night by explaining:<\/p>\n

\u201cIf your baby is going to die and it doesn\u2019t have to, it shouldn\u2019t matter how much money you make. I think that\u2019s something that whether you\u2019re a Republican or a Democrat or something else, we all agree on that, right?\u201d<\/p>\n

In response, former president Barack Obama tweeted:<\/p>\n

\u201cWell said, Jimmy. That\u2019s exactly why we fought so hard for the ACA, and why we need to protect it for kids like Billy. And congratulations!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
