Bobby modeling his pants with the zippers installed.

We had his existing pants and shorts altered to add zippers running along the outer seam to make dressing and bathroom trips a little bit easier. We took them to a local seamstress who used sleeping bag zippers for the jeans. Bobby did not like the idea of snaps or velcro because they are less secure and have openings to allow air in. Zippers are more durable and easier to use.

Bobby is now completely paralyzed and on a ventilator to breathe, when we transfer him in the hoyer lift to go to the bathroom, we can take his pants off before we even get him up, making the process faster and easier for both Bobby and his care team. It is a game changer.
