Do you believe in miracles?  I do.  Who knew that within months Skyler could go from this.......

To this......

Skyler rode a bike today!  It was truly miraculous.  The physical therapist brought the bike up to him so he could get used to the idea and then maybe in the future when he got a little stronger he would want to ride it, but he told her that he wanted to ride it right then.  We were all surprised.  I thought that we would set him on the bike and then he would kind of freak out and want to get back into bed.  But no, he started pedaling and wanted to go out into the halls to do it.  So we took him out into the halls and he rode a bike.  It was pretty darn cool.  He got pretty tired about halfway down the hall so we finished off our adventure in the halls with me holding him.  That was the first time in months that I was able to hold him like that.  I got a flash back of us at home with me holding him like that and I started bawling, so there I was walking down the halls crying.  He couldnt see because his head was turned the other way, thank goodness.  I didnt want him to think I was sad.  The coolest thing was that the only thing he was attached too was his oxygen tank, so it really did feel normal.  I just received the BEST Christmas present today, and for that I am thankful.  Here are some more pics of our little adventure.  FYI I look a mess so just focus on the handsome little guy on the bike :)
