Amy's Big Wish Episode 3 Part 5 Recap - Her Paris Dream Revealed

Recapping Amy's Big Wish Up Until Episode 3 Part 5

Amy's Big Wish has been one of the most talked about new shows this season. Centered around Amy, a young girl with a life-threatening illness, each episode follows her journey to complete her "big wish" - a list of dreams, goals, and experiences she wants to fulfill. By episode 3 part 5, Amy's story has continued to pull at viewers' heartstrings.

Amy's Backstory and Diagnosis

The show introduced us to the bright, creative 8-year old Amy in episode 1. We learned of her passion for art, animals, and adventures. However, we also discovered that Amy suffers from Batten disease - a rare, fatal, inherited disorder of the nervous system that begins in childhood. After years of unexplained symptoms, Amy's parents finally got a diagnosis just before her 8th birthday.

The news was devastating. Not only is Batten disease extremely rare, but it also has no cure and leads to blindness, loss of motor skills, and ultimately early death. Amy's parents were informed she likely only had a few years left before her health would start deteriorating.

The Big Wish List

Despite her grim prognosis, Amy maintained a vibrant spirit and zest for life. She started writing out a "big wish list" - a collection of all the amazing things she still wanted to experience. The list contained wishes small and large, simple and elaborate, but all representing Amy's unique passions.

Her parents vowed to try fulfilling every last item on her list, no matter the logistics or cost. Thus the show named "Amy's Big Wish" was born as we follow this incredible family making Amy's wishes come true while they still have precious time together.

Wishes Completed By Episode 3

The first few episodes take us on Amy's journey checking items off her ambitious wish list. By episode 3 part 5, some of Amy's already completed wishes have included:

• Swimming with dolphins
• Going on a hot air balloon ride
• Having a picnic tea party in a mermaid tail
• Riding on a zip line over a waterfall
• Visiting a wolf sanctuary and petting wolf pups

Seeing the unadulterated joy these wish fulfillments bring Amy is beautiful but also bittersweet, knowing her continued declining health. However, her vibrant, positive spirit perseveres.

The Paris Wish

In episode 3 part 5, Amy shares her next big dream - she wants to go to Paris! The City of Light has long fascinated Amy with its food, fashion, art, and romantic history. She tells her parents it's at the very top of her big wish list.

Her parents are stunned realizing how much planning and cost it would involve to achieve Amy's Parisian dreams. But seeing the longing in her eyes, they commit to finding a way.

To Be Continued...
