Family last week. Im sorry. You know, i try not to get emotional, but it was a scary story. And before i go into it, i want you to know it has a happy ending. Okay . So when im telling this, dont get too upset. Leave that to me. But a little over a week ago on friday, april 21st, my wife, molly, gave birth to a boy. A baby boy. His name is william john kimmel. [ cheers and applause ] thank you very much. We call him billy. It was an easy delivery. Six pushes, he was out. And he appeared to be a normal healthy baby. Until about three hours after he was born. We were out of the delivery room. We moved to the recovery room. Our whole family was there. And we introduced him to his 2 1 2yearold sister. She was cute with him. We were happy. Everything was good. My wife was in bed relaxing. And when a very attentive nurse at cedarssinai hospital. Her name is nanuzh. Was checking him out and heard a murmur in his she also noticed he was a bit purple, which is not common. So she asked me to come with her. And my wife and i assumed it would be nothing. Our daughter had a heart murmur too. We didnt notice that he wasnt the color he was supposed to be. So i accompanied billy and the nurse, went down the hall to another part of the hospital. The neonatal icu where another excellent nurse named ann checked him out and called the doctor. And now all of a sudden it felt serious. And the room started to fill up. More doctors and nurses and equipment started coming in. And they determined he wasnt getting enough oxygen into his blood, which as far as i understand or understood at the time was most likely one of two things, either his heart or his lungs. And you hope its the lungs because sometimes they have fluid in them after delivery and its potentially a minor thing. But they did an xray and his lungs were fine, which meant his heart wasnt. So now more doctors and nurses and he quit its aer recovery room. She has no idea whats going on. And im standing in the middle of a lot of very worriedlooking people kind of like right now. [ laughter ] who are trying to figure out what the problem is. Its friday night. And so they call a pediatric cardiologist, dr. Eben zahn, who when they called him was picking his mother up from the airport. Luckily, her plane was not delayed because he got to the hospital very quickly. They did an echocardiogram, which is a sonogram of the heart, and found that billy was born with a Heart Disease. Something called tetralogy of fallot with pulmonary atresia. Its hard to explain. Basically the pulmonary valve was completely blocked, and he has a hole in the wall between the left and right sides of his heart. And then they brought my wife in and they wheeled her in and dr. Zahn told her what was going on we decided to take him to Childrens Hospital, where theres a worldrenowned cardiac surgeon who is by all accounts a genius. His name is dr. Vaughn starnes. We put the baby in an ambulance to Childrens Hospital los angeles. And on monday morning dr. Starnes opened his chest and fixed one of the two defects in his heart. He went in there with a scalpel and did some kind of magic that i couldnt even begin to explain. He opened the valve, and the operation was a success. It was the longest three hours of my life. [ cheers and applause ] they didnt do everything. Hell have to have another open heart surgery in three to six months to close those holes. But they want to wait until hes bigger, and even hell have a third hopefully noninvasive procedure sometime maybe in his early teens to replace the valve he has now. So this poor kid, this is what he looked like on monday. But this is what he looked we brought him home. Poor kid. Not only do you get a bad heart, he got my face. [ laughter ] six days after open heart surgery we got to bring him home, which is amazing. Hes doing great. Hes eating. Hes sleeping. He peed on his mother today while she was changing his diaper. [ laughter ] [ applause ] hes doing all the things that hes supposed to do. And our daughter heres a picture of my wife and me and billy and our daughter jane. And you can see janes pretty excited about having another kid in the house. [ laughter ] you know, its funny. They tell you when you bring the new baby home bring a gift for the older sibling and tell her its from the baby. As if we gave birth to the easter bunny or something. [ laughter ] it makes no sense. But thats what they tell you to do. So we brought jane these shopkins. Do you know what these are . Theyre like tiny little cupcakes and donuts with faces on them. For you. And she believed it. Shes not too bright. [ laughter ] i mean, he doesnt even have money. Not only [ laughter ] doesnt he have money. He doesnt have a place to put money. He has no wallet. How would he buy these for her . As far as she knows, the baby is signed up for amazon prime. [ laughter ] but she likes him okay. This is another picture. This is the best. Theres me in a coma. [ laughter ] and i have a list of people i want to thank for making that happen. And i hope i have my list. These are just some of the people who played a part in this. It was an enormous team effort. Really was. At cedarssinai hospital first of all i want to thank nanu nanush shakernia, the nurse who was the first to notice there was a problem. [ applause ] if it was a girl, we would have named her nanush. We really would have. [ laughter ] and the other nurses at cedars. Desiree, laurie, ashley, theresa, susan, alis ann de mayo, whos great. Nurse joan bacall, who was at his side the whole time. Dr. Eben zahn. And also his mother, who probably didnt get her luggage because he picked her up at the airport. Dr. Scott cohen, dr. Stacy rosenbaum, dr. Tim casares. All for being so great. And the truly aweinspiring team at Childrens Hospital los angeles led by dr. Vaughn starnes, who saves so many lives. [ cheers and applause ] this man has saved thousands of lives and turned so much sorrow into happiness. Ill never be able to thank him for so i wont even try. [ laughter ] and all the great doctors at chla. Dr. Sylvia del castillo. Dr. Erin abarbanel. Barbara gross who runs the heart institute. And our unbelievably kind and caring nurses, especially Krista Callan and carrie dublin. Ellese, josie, rhea. Dr. Donald seaback, our respiratory therapist who kept billy breathing the whole time. This is some place Childrens Hospital los angeles. I hope you never have to go there, but if you do youll see so many kids from so many financial backgrounds being cared for so well and with so much compassion. Ive been supporting Childrens Hospital for years. I had no idea wed ever wind up there. And if youd like to support the work they do, the information is there at the bottom of your screen. Please do. We were on the costco floor, which i consider to be a good omen because its my favorite store. [ laughter ] [ applause ] and thats costco sponsors the second floor, which is great. And thanks to all the companies who support Childrens Hospital, including my company, disney abc, which supports them financially. I want to thank everyone here at abc who were exceptionally kind and patient with me, letting me stay out of work last week. Ben sherwood, channing dungy. Iger. Especially thanks to everyone here at the show. All my coworkers who sent a box of cards. That meant a lot to my wife. I didnt read them. [ laughter ] but they meant a lot to her. Thanks to my work i want to thank my work family and my actual family, starting with my cousin dr. Denise hayes, who happens to be a pediatric cardiologist in new york. Theres one smart person in our family. [ laughter ] and she counseled us. She explained everything to everyone in our family over and over again so i didnt have to. Thank you, denise. And special extra thanks to my mom and dad and my motherinlaw mickey. My kids, danny and ken, my cousins, my sister, my brother, my sistersinlaw, my brothersinlaw. They all really came through in so many ways, as did my friends. Every one of my friends were there 100 of the time for us. We had atheists praying for us. Believe in god [ cheers and applause ] praying to him. And i hate being i hate having to say it. Even that son of a bitch matt damon sent flowers. [ cheers and applause ] so thank you. I want to say also thanks to guillermo for all the sweet texts and emails. I could barely read any of them. [ laughter ] but it was the thought that really counted. And cleto, i have to say cleto, cleto sr. Cletos mom sylvia, cleto sr. s wife sylvia whos like a second mother to me never has any human being ever texted more praying hands emojis to another human being than cletos mom did to me. I had to upgrade my phone just to handle them all. [ laughter ] so thank you, sylvia. And most of all i want to thank my wife, molly. First of all for allowing me to have sex with her in the first place. [ laughter ] that was [ applause ] so few have done that. But also for being so strong and levelheaded and positive and loving during the Worst Nightmare a new mother could experience. I couldnt ask for a better partner. Im so happy we had this baby together. Im definitely getting a vasectomy after this. [ laughter ] and i want to say one other thing. President trump last month proposed a 6 billion cut in funding to the National Institute of health. And thank god our congressmen made a deal last night to not go along with that. They actually increased funding by 2 billion. And i applaud them for doing that. [ cheers and applause ] because more than 40 of the people whod have been affected by those cuts in the National Institutes of health are children, and it would have a major impact on a lot of great places including Childrens Hospital in los angeles, which is so unbelievably sad to me. We were brought up to believe thate a few years ago millions and millions of us had no access to Health Insurance at all. You know, before 2014 if you were born with congenital Heart Disease like my son was, there was a good chance youd never be able to get Health Insurance because you had a preexisting condition. You were born with a preexisting condition. And if your parents didnt have medical insurance you might not live long enough to even get denied because of a preexisting condition. If your baby is going to die and it doesnt have to, it shouldnt matter how much money you make. I think thats something that whether youre a republican or a democrat or something else, we all agree on that, right . I mean, we do. [ cheers and applause ] whatever your party, whatever you believe, whoever you support, we need to make sure that the people who are supposed to represent us, people who are meeting about this right now in washington, understand that very this isnt football. There are no teams. We are the team. Its the United States. Dont let their partisan squabbles divide us on something every decent person wants. [ cheers and applause ] we need to take care of each other. I saw a lot of families there. And no parent should ever have to decide if they can afford to save their childs life. It just shouldnt happen. Not here. So anyway. Thank you for listening. I promise im not going to cry for the rest of the show. [ laughter ] please say a prayer for or send positive thoughts to the families with children who are still in the hospital now. Because they need it. And thanks. We have a special show tonight. Well be right back with dr. Oz. [ cheers and applause ] fromi wanted to seeved, this great country. My last wish is for you to do it for me, as a family. Love, grandpa. Let us be lovers, well marry our fortunes together older grandaughter itll be alright. I know. Grandson how did you meet grandpa . Grandmother actually on a blind date. [ laughter ] i wish he was on the trip with us. Hes sitting right between the boys in the back of the car. [ laughter ] america all come to look for america all come to look for america lifes as big as you make it. With americas best bumpertobumper limited warranty. Party [beatbox vocals] youre gonna rock the party ayou dont have to choose just one thing. Choose your trio with any 3 of 9 selections for 15. 99.

[ cheers and applause ] tonight a gentleman who is this guy, hes an olympian Gold Medalist who had the same heart surgery when he was a kid that my son had, and hes here to make me feel better about the whole thing. Shaun white is with us tonight. [ cheers and applause ] and then a great band from nashville. This is their latest album. Its called walls. Kings of leon from the mercedesbenz stage. The kings pick up the third leg of their tour starting september 27th in charlotte, north carolina. Tomorrow night i wanted to come in tonight just to explain what was g the week some of my friends were gracious enough to fill in for me. So hosting the show tomorrow night, no ones ever hosted the show besides me here before but will arnett will be hosting tomorrow night, Anthony Anderson on wednesday. Kristen bell on thursday. And david spade on friday. And then im hoping to be back to work on monday. Guillermo, i need you to watch these people while im gone. [ laughter ] are. Sure. Yes, sure, jimmy. Jimmy i dont want them stealing anything from my desk. I will keep my eyes open, yeah. Jimmy okay. Thank you. Especially spade. Because i think he [ laughter ] yeah, i know. Jimmy our first guest tonight is a renowned cardiothoracic surgery and more importantly one of oprahs favorite things. His show airs every day on syndicated television. Please welcome dr. Mehmet oz [ cheers and applause ] its very strange because it might seem that we booked you specifically because of this. Youve been booked on the show for weeks. This is a coincidence. And then youre a heart surgeon. The daytime emmy awards were last night. I was coming here anyway. We talked about today was the obvious one. This was planned months ago. In a way youre responsible for what happened to us. [ laughter ] beside my wife. Jimmy do people forget that youre a real heart surgeon and that you still do operations . It slips their minds sometimes. But every thursday im dutifully in the operating room doing procedures. Actually, i trained to do exactly the kind of operation that your son have you mentioned your sons name . Jimmy billy. In all the tears i couldnt quite billy. By the way, unbelievably emotional. And what you were just expressing there is why i practice medicine. There is something unique about the raw emotion, the authentic love that we have for each other, and we forget that sometimes. Jimmy yeah. Its never more powerful than when parents have children in trouble. And pediatric cardiac surgery, you either make it or you dont. And youve got to get the plane off the aircraft carrier, and youve got to do it with the child and the parents. I know what dr. Starnes, whos a superb, excellent surgeon, went through with you. Jimmy he had the way people were speaking of this man before this operation, we almost felt like we were lucky to be in this situation. Like oh, he is he is a god. I mean, he is an absolute miracle. And it turned out to be true. But definitely filled us with a lot of confidence. But i wonder what its like to be in that situation where you actually have saved peoples lives. Now, youve done a lot of heart surgeries. How do people thank you for Something Like that . Well, first, if i can say something. If you take responsibility for saving life, then you have to take the blame for losing life. Jimmy i see. And its really hard to live through that. So im very careful. I teach. Im a professor at columbia. To make sure folks have a little bit of equanimity about this. Youve got to keep your ego in check and you have to be confident enough. Because surgerys ultimately controlled arroganc size of a peanut and then fix the insides of it. That does take a little arrogance. Jimmy well, sure. But its the controlled part thats important. Because when you overstep, you start doing crazy things. And people do express appreciation. But im always quick to say that something that you did was as important as what i did. You had confidence in what was going on. You supported each other. The role of the family which you brought up the family here but the family at home as well. Its unparalleled in its vitality. And the nursing you that touched on a little bit, these women jimmy absolutely. And men as well. And men. And there should be more men. My charge nurse at columbia, flora, flora wang, she was actually chiang kaishek, who was the head of taiwan and had come to the United States in the 60s, his gift was to allow his charge nurse to stay with us. And this woman would look over my shoulder. She retired recently. If it wasnt completely dry after the surgery, because we use blood thinners, she wouldnt let me close the chest. Otherwise youve got to go back and open it again and fix the problem. And its that kind of leadership that nurses nation. And thats why a lot of this works, especially in heart surgery, because its a team sport. Jimmy and especially because the nurses are there and theyre at the hospital every single day and some of the doctors will come in and go and the nurses really i mean, really, it is amazing that this woman noticed that. You know, so many people told me youre very lucky she noticed that. Well, lets talk about this. Tetralogy of fallot was one of the conditions that really gave birth to heart surgery. It was discovered hundreds of years ago, probably 150 years ago. Fallot, who was a french fellow, described it. But literally he only described it. Because eldest kids didnt make, it jimmy. In fact, until the 50s when the first heart operations started to be done, almost at the time like an experiment to try to save these kids, we didnt have any chance of helping them. Because the blood had shifted so far out of gear that when these kids turned blue they could compensate for a while but ultimately the body couldnt take it any longer. And the birth of technology in medicine and certain saving the lives of children like billy, and it has become now one of the best examples i can think of of how technology has changed our lives for the better in america. Jimmy it really is amazing what they do. [ applause ] something that i just cant imagine being left to our own devices in this situation like that. Thank god we live in a big city where it was available and we had insurance and people taking care of us. It really i mean, you hesitate to say youre lucky in a situation like this, but we absolutely were very, very lucky. I brought you a little present. Jimmy oh. Always nice to have knowledge because knowledge is power. Jimmy okay. I want to show you a video of a heart and then show everybody else. You probably have become the world expert in tetralogy of fallot. What went down. Because if people really understand the depth of what needed to happen to save your sons life i think it might change a lot of folks minds about the things you talked about earlier, about funding research, but also e its a fantastic field. Jimmy yeah. Is okay . A blessing to be in it. Jimmy absolutely. Ive got a little video. Im going to put it up there. If its on that big monitor i can there it is. Jimmy this is your heart . This is your heart, actually. Jimmy oh. So the blue is the veins and the red is coming from the clean blood. So the blue bloods coming from your legs, supposed to go to the lungs. See the blue arrows. The yellow arrows with the red blood is clean air from the lungs going back up into the aorta which goes to your brain, kidneys and everywhere else. This is normal. Notice this wall here. That walls nice and thick and intact. Thats all you have to focus on. That wall if its not there lets the red and the blue mix like theyre not supposed to. And that causes the redness or the blueness that a child has. So you have a picture. Jimmy yes. This is an image of what billys heart looks like. Notice that walls missing here. And theres a little white arrow that goes across into it. So when that walls missing, because that muscle between the two main chambers is not formed. But the blue tube takes dirty blood to the lungs, the red tube takes clean blood to your brain and everywhere else, they no longer can discriminate between what bloods coming into them. So the blue blood goes across the middle and gets into this red. You must have done this at home. If you take a little food dye and drop it into the boilt bowl, you know how it turns color . Jimmy yeah. Ive never done it. Only a lunatic would do Something Like that. [ laughter ] whats going on in your house . [ laughter ] i can imagine it, though, yes. For sure. People always call friends whove had beets. Two drops of beets go in the toilet they think theyre having bloody stool. It turns everything that color. Well, same thing happens to blood in your body. You get a little bit of the dirty blood mixing with the clean blood and the baby turns blue. And so that very attentive nurse who identified the fact that that was happening to billy, again, changed the course of his history. Because now instead of being discovered weeks later and you wondering what the hecks going on, why isnt he growing, the murmur together with that leads you along that was unimaginable when you and i were born and today is becoming so commonplace that the procedures that someone would go through i mean, cures a strong word. But as the audience will meet shaun white, he should grow up completely normally with no limitations and give you a complete [ cheers and applause ] jimmy dr. Oz is here. Well be right back.

The people i love have always been there for me. And now, im there for them, too. Talk to your doctor, and call 8442142424 to learn more. Jimmy were back wp dr. Oz, whos a real doctor. He operates on people. And by the way, congratulations, yesterday you did win a daytime emmy. You won for best talk show [ applause ] very interesting. Your competition happened to be one of your competitors was your own daughter. My biggest competition. Shes beaten me. Daphne hosts the chew. Shes the young woman on that show with mario batali, Michael Simon and all those folks. And weve had an ongoing challenge. In fact, we bet this year because ive had to eat fried oreos, things ive never tried in my life before because i lost to her. But this year i said whoever loses has to cook for the winner. And because i dont know how to boil water that means she loses no matter what. Jimmy i see. Yeah. The same way that going to torture you for the rest of your life jimmy im sure he will. My daughter daphne when she was born i was in medical school. And like most medical students i really thought i could do everything. Id read all the books after all and got good tests on the score good test grades. So i thought id deliver her. Jimmy oh, yourself. Yeah. So i didnt ask anybody about this. I thought it was a good idea. I told my wife while she was going through contractions. So the midwife who ultimately delivered her is looking at me strangely. Im coming over there trying to get ready. So she finally says, you know, you might actually enjoy it more if youre on the other side. And it turns out that daphnes cord was strapped around her neck. The midwife at one moment says knife. I said theres no baby yet. Give me the knife. Takes the knife, cuts the cord. Which means the clocks ticking like a bomb about to explode if you dont get that baby out. Gets her head my wife had one request of me. My fathers head was so large they had to make special hats for him in the military. Jimmy wow. Daphne jimmy like the wizard of oz. [ laughter ] exactly. She delivered her. Sh it was sharp as a cone head from saturday night live. And her apgar score, which is the score we can use to predict mortality rates, was a 2 out of 10. She was completely blue. Much bluer im sure than billy. And lisa was positive the child had died in utero. Jimmy wow. I actually didnt know what had gone wrong. I just couldnt believe that this bad thing had happened to me. And thankfully she obviously made it and survived. Jimmy that little girl grew up to be a beautiful woman who you beat at the emmys. [ laughter ] only because she made it. Jimmy another tough night for her. Yeah. Wow. [ laughter ] may i ask, what goes on in the operating room when theyre doing the operation itself . Is it intense . You dont want it to be intense. For people to function at their optimal level theyve got to be a little bit looseygoosey. And that is hard to do when someones got their chest open and things arent going well. So i personally always play music. And i think a lot of physicians now as well do it. My fatherinlaw belve stone magazine as rock doc because he was the first guy to play rock music in the o. R. Which back then was thought you couldnt do that. But nowadays most docs do. We actually play music thats different when we open the chest, different when were actually doing the really delicate part on the inside, and then when we close we have different stuff. So we might have, you know, jayz closing and lady gaga in the middle somewhere, one of her calmer pieces. Ed sheeran, you know, one of his cool songs might open the game up. Because that way youre still emotionally engaged. And the patients, who will sometimes say i dont like that kind of music, they get their own tapes. Jimmy so they have they have audio tapes on. Theyre separate. And we get to play jimmy who knew there was a dj in the o. R. . Thats unbelievable. [ laughter ] we have a boombox way up high so we dont get blood on it. Thats the one rule. Jimmy my god. Well, that was an unnecessary detail. [ laughter ] but thank you, dr. Oz. I appreciate your being here. Congratulations on your emmy. Thank you. Jimmy before you go, i want i want to tell you something theyre not always the cards we want. This could have been a knockout blow for you and molly and the rest of the family. But god was giving you a little noogie. I know it hurt a little bit. Jimmy yeah. But i am so confident hes going to do well. And i honor very much you for what you have put into this and the emotion you shared, which is what all parents feel about their loved ones. God bless you. Jimmy well, thank you, dr. Oz.

Our next guest is an x games record holder, tentime espy award winner and congenital Heart Disease survivor. Please welcome twotime olympic Gold Medalist shaun white. [ cheers and applause ] thanks for coming. Yeah. Jimmy im really glad you could come because when we were told that this operation was going to be happening everyone said, shaun white had this. Shaun white had this. And i go, oh no, m [ laughter ] that is a side effect. Yes. Jimmy so this is something that we called you and asked you to come do the show. Yeah. Jimmy because of that. And you drove down from Mammoth Mountain where you were working i assume. Yeah. Jimmy and thank you for doing that, by the way. Of course. Yeah. Jimmy at last minute. Yeah. It was a mission to get down. We actually i take an old car to get up there. And so the starter wouldnt work at the gas station, and then all of a sudden were getting down and i get home and my electronic keypad wont work at the house. So i had to get a hotel. But i made it. I made it. And our flight got canceled. Jimmy oh, my god. So im here, though. Jimmy well, thank you for being here. Of course. Jimmy i really appreciate you being here. You were born with basically the same Heart Disease that our son was born with. Yeah, exactly. Jimmy how old were you when you had your operation . Do you know . I was probably just born. Similar situation. Like i was slowly turning blue. And my parents knew somethi the doctors came in, found out that was the scenario, the heart condition. So i dont really obviously remember much at that point. [ laughter ] jimmy right. I was so young jimmy pretty high. It brought back a lot. I have the same exact photo with the tubes and the whatnot. And i have a lot of socks, actually, from when i was that age because my mom, the only thing she could dress me with was socks because she couldnt touch me in my tube there. You know, when i was getting jimmy how many operations did you have . About three. Yeah, that portion of heart that was explained earlier actually broke, the stitching broke. So i had to go back in and get it repaired again. Jimmy oh, boy. But yeah, only three. And then i was very lucky. They actually stopped doing the artificial valve sort of did you say that your son was getting one or no . Jimmy he did not get an artificial valve. Okay. Thats great. Because those need to be replaced. I was one of maybe 1,000 that wont have to get the secondary surgery to replace that valve. So i feel very, very fortunate. Jmy did they become overly protective . Did they keep you away from doing things . Were there sports they didnt allow you to play . Obviously not. [ laughter ] i mean, yeah. [ cheers and applause ] jimmy i mean, thats good for them. Yeah. Well, that was the thing. And thats so important. Is my parents are the ones who really made me who i am. Obviously. They didnt put these limitations on me. It was obviously explained, hey, this is what happened, you should be cautious. But it wasnt this like hovering over me to make sure i wasnt getting into trouble or working out too much or doing anything active. But you know, they really let me find my own limitations. So thats kind of like why i feel like im so athletic now and i just did whatever i wanted to do, because they never really put that limit on me. Jimmy yeah. Thats i mean, i think that will be very difficult for most parents to do. Yeah. Jimmy i think its interesting to hear because it makes me think about it a little bit differently. Yeah. Of course. Jimmy you have this scar i assume you still i do. Its super faint now jimmy is it visible now . No. Jimmy oh, good. You can barely see it through all the muscle. [ cheers and applause ] i knew jimmy was going to try to get my shirt off. Jimmy i always do. And im going keep trying until it happens. I figured. Jimmy did your condition did this situation that you had im not even sure if its a condition anymore. But did it worry other people . Like teachers or coaches or yeah. Jimmy people like that. You know, i had a big scare when i was younger where i actually i passed out on a soccer field. And you know, the community we lived in, everybody was like thats it, thats the final straw, you know, youre letting your son do these things. And everybody was so worried it was my heart. It was actually our coach wasnt allowing us to have water till we completed our laps. And i passed out, you know. But that was a big jimmy that used to happen.
