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
