Last week, we went to Prairie Gardens. For me, this was an extremely significant thing. It’s not that it was the most fabulous day we’ve ever had, but it was a big deal for me as it symbolized that Miss Optimism’s meds are working. I have been wanting to take the kids to Prairie Gardens for many years, but we have never been able to go as Miss Optimism just hasn’t been healthy enough to be outside. With there being hay and animals and dust and trees, even at times when her lungs have been well enough for her to go out in our yard, it’s still never been a possibility, but she is doing so well right now that we were able to go. She was thrilled! She dressed so that she would look like she belonged at a farm and her smile was plastered on her face the whole time we were there!
She especially loves animals and had the chance to be able to hold many different animals. She loved that part so much that when the rest of us all went on the train ride, she stayed with the animals.
The rest of the kids had fun too! There were two corn mazes, a hay bale maze, a haunted house, a spider web maze, rubber duck races using water pumps, panning for gems, a petting zoo, and many other activities.
What a fun day and a huge event for Miss Optimism and you!!!! I am so happy for both of you. I hope the meds keep working and give both of you more freedom to explore.
Blessings, Dawn
Sometimes a perfect day like that just happens and how awesome is that!! It brought tears to my eyes to know that Miss Optimism could go…may those meds continue to work a miracle in her life.
Fabulous!!

Yes, please keep praying that we win our appeal so that the benefit company will pay for them and she can keep getting well.
Praying for sure!! She looks fantastically joyful!
Soooo happy for Miss O
We have a place like this near us and it is one of my kids’ favorite places to go in the fall. I am so glad that you were able to go. Just wanted you to know, that you are on one of the prayer sticks that we pick from during our morning prayers
Andrea, that means so much to me that our family is one of your prayer sticks. I’m a bit overwhelmed to know that. Thank you. Keep praying. It seems that we’re in a rough patch, but God is always faithful.
