Pedalling

Just a short post on this topic.

We had stopped his therapies a few days prior to and during Christmas as I was busy, and we had relatives over. So, when they left on Monday, it was on again with the Neurosuit and pedalling.

This evening, he did so well pedalling at Titiwangsa. There was a stretch where he pedalled fast all by himself for a distance of about 40 feet! When I say fast, it's certainly not as fast as his peers, but it was fast by his standard! It was fast enough that I had to break out of a slow walk in oder to keep pace with him!

I did have my hand on his back (but didnt need to push him) for safety reasons as the pavement is uneven, potentially causing him to topple off the bike. There were other short stretches where he pedalled himself, but slower, and a shorter distance. Oh yes, to top it off, he was doing it in his Neurosuit. It's harder to move, and do things whilst in the suit.

Overall, very pleased with his progress in learning to pedal. His pedalling skill has also translated to walking up the stairs using alternate feet slightly more often. He's also lifting his knee up a lot more when walking fast. I'm so encouraged!
