Jimmy Kimmel is feeling grateful as his son Billy celebrates his seventh birthday. As Kimmel reflects on his son's successful open-heart surgeries, the talk show host shares that Billy is raising money for the hospital that saved his son's life.

“Billy turns 7 today and is doing great thanks to the doctors, nurses, therapists and staff at@ChildrensLA&@CedarsSinai, ” Kimmel wrote.
