It was a pretty consistent theme throughout the series that Caroline missed the conveniences of being back East and that she particularly didn't care for the interruption of the girls' education or the inferiority of Western schools. It was also heavily implied that Mary's blindness and Carrie's sickliness were compounded, in part, by being in the middle of nowhere away from good doctors.

Charles' half-assed attempt at homesteading may have been a national phenomenon, but that doesn't make it a good idea and it doesn't detract from the real consequences of dragging the family off to the middle of nowhere to live in shacks and fail at farming.

No? It wasn't? She wanted her girls to go to school, she never talked about the 'conveniences' of being in the East other than schools and society, which they had once they settled near Silver Lake. And the girls went to school at Plum Creek, as well, but even in the Big Woods, they weren't in school, and there was no mention of it.

It was not implied that the lack of a 'good doctor' had caused Mary's blindness. They had doctor bills from whomever was local, as is stated in Silver Lake. She was also taken to a specialist in Chicago who confirmed that nerve damage in her eyes was irreversible.

It's assumed Mary had meningoencephalitis, which is only diagnosed by blood and spinal fluid tests (not available in 1879), and the treatment was antibiotics, also not available.

Carrie was possibly in utero while Caroline had malaria, which could have effected her (a disease most homesteaders had no knowledge about), and later had rheumatic fever, which can damage the heart muscle (and wasn't treatable then). She also had lung (asthma-type) issues, which was not treatable in her childhood (or, indeed, for a long time after. Remember 'asthma cigarettes'?).

I'm not sure why you have such a hate-on for Charles Ingalls, and don't really care, but do your research first.
