Jimmy Kimmel and his son

Jimmy Kimmel and his wife welcomed a baby boy on April 21st. They named him William John Kimmel. After the birth of his son, everything seemed to be going great. Mommy and baby were both happy and healthy.  Three hours after his son was born, a nurse came in to check on everything. She found out that William had a purple color to him. She took him to the ICU to do some test. The nurse found out that the baby had a hole in his heart. William was rushed into surgery and had a three hour surgery on his heart. The surgery was a success. Jimmy's son will have to have two more surgeries in order to get the whole heart working fine and everything working the way it should. Six days after the surgery. The couple was able to bring the baby home. Jimmy Kimmel gave a 13 minute monologue on his show. He pleaded that parents keep watch and what is happening in the health care world today.

Questions:

Do you watch this show? How do you think Jimmy Kimmel spread word about this disease and issues.

Do you think that Jimmy's son will have a normal life or will he face hard times because of his heart?

My thoughts:

I love to watch the Jimmy Kimmel show. I think that Jimmy Kimmel will use his show to spread the word on this disease.

I think that his son will have a normal life now since they found the issue with his heart. I think that the surgery and his nurse, saved his life.

  • Good story choice! I think you could comment more.

  • I do watch the Jimmy Kimmel show and I think that as long as he continues to talk about this on his show and asks fro awareness then he will spread the word plenty. I think that as long as the surgery goes ok then his kid should have a good and happy life.

  • I have watched his show but I'm not a consistent viewer. He has a lot of fans so I'm sure he easily spread the word by either talking about it a lot on the show or perhaps over social media. If the surgeries go fine, I think that his son will eventually live a normal life. There are worse things that kids have gone through and came back from so I think it'll be okay. 

  • I don't want this show, but he probably used the show for an advantage. His son will most likely have a normal life now, and I also think the surgery saved his life. 

  • It's a great and entertaining show that people really enjoy. He most likely used his show to his advantage and used broadcasting to spread word to everyone watching. I think the baby will have a normal life and might face a small difficulty in sports.

  • Not really. well just talking about it on its show and it should spread it pretty big. Knowing his dad is probably rich he will probably pay for everything possibly to have him as a normal life 

  • I do not watch this show, but considering that you have your own tv show it would be pretty easy to spread the word about this. I think that he'll have some problems because it's with your heart which is a big part of your body.

  • I don't watch this show. I think that it would be pretty easy to spread the word when you have your own tv show. His son will have a tough life but will be better than some with the same disease since his dad is very wealthy

  • I do not watch the show. I think that he used his show to spread the word which was brilliant. He could have a normal life if all surgeries are successful.

  • I don't watch the show but I think he handled it well. He made it a priority to notify people of what's happening and that raises awareness. I think he will have a normal childhood because a lot of kids with heart problems turn out to be fine after they have the surgeries.
