Smokey Mountain Memories

We're took a two week vacation to my sisters house in Mr. Carmel TN. We took Matthew to the Smokey Mountains this time. If you watch the video, you'll see why they call them "Smokey".
We had a great time. We even got a tiny bit of snow while we were there. Only bad news is that Matthew's seizures changed again. He's having tonic clusters when he is going to sleep instead of when he is waking up. His seizures are always changing. I think he's having more this week because of ear infections. He went to the doctor today. He's on drops and antibiotics. Normally his seizures increase or change whenever his is sick. It's hard to tell when he's sick because he's always so sweet and angelic. The only way I know that he's got an ear infection is he'll not want to suck his bottle. I guess it hurts his ears to suck and swallow. That makes it very hard to get food and water down him! He's doing a lot better already.
Hope you enjoy the video! Matthew saw the Christmas Lights in Gatlinburg when we were coming back from the Mountains. Gatlinburg is one big light show even a month before Christmas. It's beautiful there! We saw lots of deer and visited some very old homes and mills. After that, we bought our jar of blackberry jelly and went back to my sisters house. Unforturnately we didn't see any bears! We were looking though.
