Like father, like son.
Last week, Virginia father Robert Selby shared a heartwarming selfie on Instagram with his 3-year-old son Chase — both are seen with feeding tubes in their bellies.
Except, Selby’s feeding tube is fake.
“I cut the stem off and put glue on so it would stick to my stomach,” Selby, 33, tells People. “I wanted to show my son that he’s not alone.
“It made him feel very happy and proud of who he is.”
Chase was diagnosed with Tetralogy of Fallot, a congenital heart condition caused by a combination of four different heart defects, at birth.
