A G-tube is a feeding tube inserted from outside, directly into the
stomach. It's permanent, unless it's removed. It's a way to get food
into the stomach when you cannot get it through the mouth and esophagus.

Dear Colette,
I am sorry to hear about your Dad, why has the decision been left to
you? I don't understand...do you have power of attornie on you dad's
behalf?
I'm sure if you research G-Tube through archives you will get your
answer. Hopefully Helen Dynda will see your urgent message and point
you in the right direction.
We of-course are all pulling for you Colette, you and your dad are in
our thoughts & prayers. Stay calm, and research....ask loads of
questions, when you feel confident you have enough information. hang in
there....
love, hugs & cheers
Jo
