Sorry about your loss, but I'm sure he would be proud of you....Congrats to you and God Bless.....

Vickie, thank you for sharing you idea, you have shown, what we were taught in grade school, necessity is the mother of invention

Great job Vickie. You should definitely contact Donnie. Your story should be heard!!

I am sorry for your loss, Mrs. Timmons, and am so glad you thought so much of him to come up with this design. May it ease the lives of many others in his memory.

Wow, Vickie. What a wonderful way to honor your husband!!! I am sure he is looking down from heaven and is so proud of you as you help others!!! It is so awesome to see "good" storied in the paper!

I have a brother-in-law who survived prostate cancer, but now has that bag permanently implanted. I'll have to check out the web site and see if those are available in his size; I know it would have to be more comfortable for him! Thank you for this article - it made me aware of a product that I didn't know existed.

I agree!

It would be helpful to have the site for Timmons Nephrostomy belt at this site for ease of followup on this item.

Here is her site...

Hello Vicki. I would love to speak with you. I lost a baby grandson with cancer in 2000 and also my husband from leukemia in 2002. I have designed and have a patent on a garment for little babies who are dealing with feeding tubes, IV lines, catethers etc. My grandbaby Jay was only seven months old when he died and while he was ill I made him sweet clothing so he looked like a little boy and not like the grownups in those blue and white gowns. My patent is on a pocket that his tubes could lie in so that they could always be found in a central location. Twice we accidently pulled on his feeding tube while picking him up and the reinsertion was so very painful. I never saw him cry until that procedure. I don't know where to go from here to get them manufactured at a reasonable cost. I have a web-site....littlejsetc.com. The products are not available as yet because I am trying to make enough by myself to get going. Go on the address line to check it out. The prices are only estimates. On the left hand side you can click on our story and see a picture of our little boy and his story. Any thing you can do to guide me would be wonderful. Thank you and bless you. Kate
