G-Tubes

Maria Baimas-George

G-Tubes: Fuel Me Up! explores the topic of G-Tubes (gastrostomy tubes) using the example of one child's experience, in a fun and hopeful story. Their role in delivering food, water and medication is described through the analogy of a car fuel system, alleviating fear in patients, their families and friends and illuminating the need for and function of G-tubes in simple terms. Easy to understand language and engaging illustrations ensure information accessible for readers of all ages. The book includes a 'Facts' section with important information and answers to commonly asked questions, to supplement conversations with doctors. Featuring instructions relating to feeding and surgical and basic care, alongside appropriate remedies to common issues you may encounter and a glossary of common words you'll hear doctors use through treatment. This informative and enjoyable book is part of the series The Strength of My Scars, written and illustrated by surgeon, Maria Baimas-George.
