Jimmy Kimmel Is ‘So Grateful’ for Medical Staff Who ‘Saved’ 7-Year-Old Son Billy


Jimmy Kimmel and wife Molly McNearney are forever 'grateful' to the medical staff who have kept their son Billy alive, a source exclusively tells Closer.

“Having these great chefs gathered in one place, they’re doing a special thing — they’re actually making real progress and really helping families and kids who have cancer,” Jimmy tells Closer. In May, Jimmy gave fans a happy update via Instagram after Billy’s procedure alongside a photo of the little one lying on the hospital bed, while flashing a precious smile. “Once again Billy’s doctors, led by the brilliant surgeon Vaughn Starnes, cardiologist Tim Casarez and the excellent, hard-working staff, doctors, nurses and nurse practitioners at CHLA, including, but certainly not limited to Misty, Ann, Sylvia, Dana, Caleigh, Nick, Bekah, Julie, Kenny, Caroline, Lisa, Stephanie, Ellize, Ivy, Pam and Carrie came through for us with immeasurable kindness and expertise.”
