Question: They keep talking about removing the feeding tube. Is there a tube permanently attached somewhere or do they thread it down her esophagus every feeding time?</p>

My 5 year old had a feeding tube since he was a baby (a g-tube). It is just a little button on the left side his abdomen that goes directly into his stomach. You'd never know he had one unless he pulled up his shirt.
