Whoa! Thats terrible Tim! I've been stung by ONE, and it hurt like heck and I'm not even allergic!
Our thoughts and prayers are with her as she recovers.

Thoughts and prayers ... Scary stuff ... Glad she's okay.
Had a yellow jacket encounter a couple years ago ... spent a little time in the hospital in stead of the RegionD Rally; I now carry an epi-shot in the bike and car.

Glad she'll be OK!!! I know how she feels. I got caught in a bumble bee nest once. All in all, close to 40 stings and bites. My leg and neck were twice their normal size. Benedryl rocks!!  Let her know that the wife and I said to get well soon!!! |

Scary stuff! I am glad that she is OK and prayers sent for a quick recovery.
We had a family friend who got stung once while working in her garden and died before they got her to the hospital.

I ran over a in the ground nest once with a bush hog.
Shore as hell glad the thing had a cab with AC on and I was using the AC.
Never got stung, but they sure hit the windshield with their stingers out. I smacked and squashed a few with the windshield wiper. That left a mess to clean up.
Went to the barn, they followed, banging the cab all the way. Set in the cab with the tractor running for about a 1/2 hour or so. They finally settled down and left. Grandpa went out later and burned the nest with a good bunch of them in it. The whole ordeal gives me goose bumps yet to this day.
He had a weed burner like Hotglue's bon fire starter. It had a nozzle that measured 6" across. Put out a rather large flame. Large enough, if they came out of the hole they lost their wings at least, and most of them their life.

Damn, Tim!
Prayers up for a complete and rapid recovery. Hope the relapse was able to be treated quickly and that she is stabilized again. She may have to be a guest of the hospital for a few days to prevent further complications.

Prayers for a speedy and full recovery are on the way ASAP!
I have such a hatred for those damn things that I go out of my way to kill them where ever I see them. I've been stung too many times in the past and have seen many friends & family attacked as well.

Any word on how Sherry is doing! Dang that's a scary thing to happen?
She has been a constant in my thoughts and prayers since we got the word.
I'm allergic and carry two epi-pens with benadryl taped on the side. Been too sick from being stung only once. Can't imagine how Sherry must feel after all those stings.
Lord, provide our friend with complete healing, as only you have the power. Keep her comfortable and let her feel your peace all around her. In Jesus name, Amen

of the 7 things i picked up prescribed for her yesterday, 6 were drugs to be taken immediately...but the 7th, was her very own epi-pen. They say it's possible with this many stings (about 50) that next time, she could have a worse reaction? I have my own epi-pen...as i am VERY allergic to them. |
