A wonderful lady from our church found out that I needed any easier way to clothe Zeke. I had been using scissors and duct tape. Not kidding. She purchased all these pants, shorts and boxers and adapted them to what we needed.

The clothes were all cut down the side of the legs and then our amazing seamstress attached velcro with a snap at the top.
.
I'm able to put the clothes down and Zeke can just plop right on top of them. Here he is sitting on top of the pants from the previous picture.
Then we just wrap the pant legs around his legs, snap the top snap and attach the velcro.

Here's a closer view of the velcro down the sides.

It's also great because Zeke can do it himself!

Here he is with the new pants on. You can't even tell that she's adapted them.

With the casts, it used to take me a half hour to get him dressed every day. I had to unscrew the bar across his legs and carefully pull everything up by shifting him back and forth from one side to the other while trying to avoid putting any pressure on any incisions. And then we'd go through the same process whenever he had to go to the bathroom.
Now it only takes us about a minute!

Thank you to our amazing seamstress!!!
