Trivia: The real Mary Ingalls also went blind, but she never married or had any children. She lived with Caroline and Charles untill the day she died. Poor Mary.

@anjajune Thanks for the LHOP trivia, however Mary Ingalls died in Keystone, South Dakota on October 17, 1928 at the home of her younger sister Carrie.

I didn't like the show much after this.

I highly doubt that one lit candle can give off that much light, i mean. Dang. -.-

I had scarlet fever, too. I got it when I was little. A lot of babies get it, but don't die from it or have adverse effects from it later. Now, simple penicillin can cure it, similar to the way strep throat is cured.

@GreenAshR47 Yeah, but to be honest, I'm not sure her vision would go from being able to read and write by lamplight to blind in a matter of a few weeks. That seems extreme to me. Especially since she had had her glasses for years. She went from progressing incredibly slowly to a rapid decline, almost as if some kind of sudden trauma triggered her to lose her sight. I mean, she just woke up one morning blind. Obviously, she could see well enough to get into the loft the night before to sleep.

[GreenAshR47]

@Jennafu832 Ok, I get it. Now that I think of it, hadn't she been slowly going blind for like 2-3 years (starting around the time she first got glasses) and just didn't realize it till it got real bad?

[Jennafu832]

@GreenAshR47 It was supposed to be "there" instead of "their" in the last sentence of my reply. Whoops...

[Jennafu832]

@GreenAshR47 Think of it like this: If I had a fever, a terrible thirst, had trouble swallowing, and pain, you might not be able to come up with a diagnosis. But, if I suddenly told you I had a bat bite me a month ago, your mind would connect the dots, and would immediately go to Rabies as the diagnosis. It's the same thing here, I'm guessing. Their are patterns that the doctor may not realize until more information is gathered.

[GreenAshR47]

Would the doctor have really been able to determine for sure that she was going blind just by examining her eyes a second time and learning she had scarlet fever years earlier. Granted I know nothing about it but I don't think he'd be able to tell by looking into the pupil that the nerves were dying (I could be wrong).

@MissLadyDoolittle Do you know what causes scarlet fever?
