Sully rides a BiKe!

Learning to pedal a tricycle has been a right of passage for centuries. Sully being the outdoorsy boy he is-LOVES to ride his four wheeler, tractor and tricycle. However he never had the strength or coordination to pedal. Cody and I have tried to teach him how to keep his feet on the pedals and push but he continued to struggle. I mentioned it to his OT and she has worked with him over the last 6mo. He has made huge gains in this area and 2 weeks ago at therapy he climbed on a bike with training wheels and to our amazement began to ride! With all that's going on at home-Cody finishing up his pilot's license and Lochlan in crisis mode-it slipped my mind to tell Cody of this huge accomplishment. (Terrible I know) So at Toys R Us the other day we went and looked at the bikes for Sully's birthday. Cody pulled one down for him to sit on and to his surprise Sully climbed on and began pedaling. Cody was simply stunned. The grin on this face went from ear to ear. He was so proud of his boy. Such a simple task to most, but to a boy with Asperger's and SPD a near-impossible feat.

Doxycycline 100 mg pill is best taken either 1 hour before or a pair of hours when a meal. You have to take it often at equally spaced intervals as in line with the timetable prescribed via your medical doctor. Taking it at an equal time an afternoon will let you take into account to require it. The dose can depend upon what you are being handled for, however, you need to perpetually entire a full path of this antibiotic as prescribed by way of your health practitioner. Do not stop taking it till you have got completed it, even after you experience higher. If you prevent taking it early, a few bacteria might live on and consequently, the contamination can also go back again.
