Jimmy Kimmel Celebrates His Fragile Son's First Birthday After Heart Surgery

Is Jimmy Kimmel using his fragile son's first birthday to make another political point?
The liberal talk show host took to Instagram on Saturday, April 21, to share an adorable photo of little Billy Kimmel sitting in a high chair. The boy wore a party hat and the room was decorated with balloons.
Last May, a teary-eyed Kimmel revealed during his ABC show that Billy had open heart surgery at three days old.
It was necessary as his son has a heart condition and Kimmel noted his "pulmonary valve being completely blocked and a hole in the wall between the left and right sides of his heart."
That wasn't all that the funnyman and his wife, the boy's mother Molly McNearney, had to endure.
In December 2017, Billy underwent a second surgery at the Children's Hospital Los Angeles.
As a result, Kimmel has become a huge fan of Obamacare. He has slammed Congress for neglecting health care for all Americans. Kimmel's celebrity pals, who attended his wedding to McNearney, and many of his fans love him for standing up for what he believes in.
