[tri-med] Different kinds of Gtubes...Pros and Cons

Hi All :o)
Our little buddy Colton (he has t13) is hopefully going to have his Gtube 
placed next week...poor baby has been yoyo-ing between an NG tube and an OG 
tube since he was born and they irritate the snot outta him :o( Can any of you 
who have experience with gTubes email Barbara (Colton's gramma) about the pros 
and cons of the different kinds of GTubes??? I don't have any experience with 
GTubes and therefore can't speak intelligently about the subject. Her email 
address is: Cabin on the Lake B&B E-mail Address(es):  lballard2@xxxxxxxxxx 
...time is of the essence :o)
Thanks :o)
