儿子心脏手术成功，吉米·坎摩尔发文庆祝

Jimmy Kimmel is celebrating his youngest son’s successful heart surgery.

吉米·坎摩尔庆祝他最小的儿子心脏手术成功。

The late-night talk show host shared the news on social media on Monday.

这位深夜脱口秀主持人在周一的社交媒体上分享了这一消息。

“This weekend, our boy Billy had his third (of three, we hope) open heart surgery,” Kimmel captioned the photo of Billy, 7, in a hospital bed. “We went into this experience with a lot of optimism and nearly as much fear and came out with a new valve inside a happy, healthy kid.”

坎摩尔在一张7岁的比利躺在病床上的照片下写道：“这个周末，我们的孩子比利进行了第三次(我们希望是最后一次)心脏手术。我们带着很多乐观和几乎同样多的恐惧进入这次手术，现在带着一个新的瓣膜和一个快乐、健康的孩子出来。”

Kimmel added, “Walking around this hospital, meeting parents at their most vulnerable, children in pain and the miracle workers who do everything in their considerable power to save them is a humbling experience” and thanked multiple members of the hospital staff by name.

坎摩尔补充道：“在医院里四处走动，看到父母们最脆弱的一面，孩子们的痛苦，以及那些尽自己所能拯救孩子们的奇迹工作者，这是一种令人谦卑的经历。”他还特别感谢了多名医院工作人员。

He also paid tribute to his “wife Molly for being stronger than is reasonable for any Mom to be and Billy, you are the toughest (and funniest) 7 year-old we know.”

他还向他的妻子莫莉致敬，称她比任何一位母亲都要坚强，并向比利致敬：“比利，你是我们认识的最坚强(也最有趣)的7岁孩子。”

Kimmel made headlines in 2017 when he emotionally during a 13-minute long monologue on his show that Billy was suffering from a serious heart condition, an issue discovered just hours after the child’s birth.

2017年，坎摩尔因在长达13分钟的脱口秀节目中激动地谈到他的儿子比利患有严重的心脏病而成为头条新闻，这一问题在孩子出生后几小时内就被发现了。

“It’s a terrifying thing,” Kimmel said at the time, his voice breaking. “You know, my wife is back in the recovery room, she has no idea what’s going on and I’m standing in the middle of a lot of worried looking people – kind of like right now – who were trying to figure out what the problem is.”

坎摩尔当时说：“这是一件可怕的事情，”他的声音哽咽了。“你知道，我的妻子还在恢复室，她不知道发生了什么，而我站在一群忧心忡忡的人中间——有点像现在这些人——他们正在努力弄清楚问题是什么。”

Since his experiences with his son, Kimmel has been a vocal advocate for health coverage for people with pre-existing conditions and for the work of children’s hospitals.

自从他的儿子出现这种问题后，坎摩尔就一直公开倡导为有既有条件的人提供医疗保险，支持儿童医院的工作。
