"He will never be alone in the fight" is the message that Rosco has shared with this photo on Instagram. A false feeding tube has been placed in your abdomen to support your three-year-old child born with a congenital heart defect that prevents you from eating properly by mouth.
Chace was born with tetralogy of Fallot, a rare condition that occurs from a combination of four different heart defects at birth. His father wants to share this image to show his son that he is not alone and raise awareness about congenital heart disease, which is the birth defect with the highest incidence.
CAN Y'ALL PLEASE REPOST, TAG A FRIEND, EMAIL, SHARE THIS STORY ON ALL SOCIAL PLATFORMS so we can Help Fight and Bring Awareness to CHD ... My Mr. #stealyourheart #teamchace is sucking in his stomach, trying to show off his abs like his daddy but all you see are his little ribs. I just cut and glued one of his G-tube on me to show support for him and bring awareness. My son was born with a Congenital Heart Defect (#chd) called Tetralogy of Fallot (#tof) and he uses a Feeding-Tube (#gtube) to help with him being under weight due to him not eating orally as much since he was Baby But as long as I'm breathing, I'll always support my son and he'll never be in a fight alone. 05 || ²2 || ¹7… #tloce #thelifeofchaceelijah #congenitalheartdefect #chdwarrior #chdawareness #chdsurvivor #heartdefect #heartwarrior #heartsurgery #tetralogyoffallot #clothdiapers #openheartsurgery #smib #pha #feedingtubeawareness #openheartsurgery # blackness # 2

His congenital heart disease is the most frequent in the pediatric age, it represents between five and ten percent of the total heart disease in children. It is the sum of four malformations that give rise to the mixing of arterial blood with venous blood with cyanotizing effects (which resulted in what was once known as "Bad Blue") "While breathing, I will always support my son and he will never be alone in his fight. "
With just three years, Chace has gone through two open heart surgeries; the first with only two weeks of age. Since then he has to carry a feeding tube to combat his low weight, since he can barely eat food orally.
What parents would not do for our children, right? A lovely gesture of support towards his little one he will never forget.
