Guest guest Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 Oh Sherry!!! I am SO sorry to hear this but also so thankful your husband is okay. How horribly terrifying! I have tears in my eyes as I type. My prayers are with him and you as he recovers. OT I hate bees!!!!! Speaking of insects, Thursday 5 min before I was going out the door to work I got a phone call from the ER, a nurse called me then told me to hold on, most agonizing 1 min of my life cause I could hear the trauma in the backround before the DR got on the phone to tell me my husband was brought in a half hr before with almost no pulse. He had been stung about 10 to 12 times by bees while he was working apparently he is VERY allergic and we did not know. They told me he was in critical condition and being put on a vent so he would not have to breathe on his own. I rushed there to find my husband mostly sedated but still fighting the vent which is a horific thing to watch. His head and neck were twice their size and his eyes were swollen shut. Thankfully his blood pressure was stablizing and they put him fully under to stop him from fighting the vent. They told me they were going to move him to ICU and keep him on the vent until the morning at least.The next morning they woke him and removed the vent, another horrible thing to watch but was not leaving him.They wanted him to stay until tuesday but my husband has a very thick head and he checked himself out on Sat. So he is home now but still a very sick guy who now needs to go for a bunch of tests for his heart and others things that got damaged by this near death experience. We are just so thankful he is alive because the DR. said it was the worst case he had ever seen and if his boss had not rushed him there then in one more min we would have lost him. So needless to say I HATE BEES!!!Thanks for listening and sorry it was so long....lolI can laugh now cause my hubby is alive!Sherry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 Oh Sherry I am so glad your DH is going to be okay. Just make sure to get him several EpiPens to carry everywhere he goes in case he is stung again. Kathy OT I hate bees!!!!!

Guest guest Posted October 21, 2007 Report Share Posted October 21, 2007 Sherry, Sorry, I'm late in replying, but I haven't checked my email in a while. How is your DH doing now? Much better I hope. My kids and I are allergic to bees, but we've never had that bad of a reaction. Be sure and get him an Epipen to have on hand in case he is ever stung again. It will counteract the allergen until he can get to the Dr. I'll keep you and your DH in my prayers. Tonya L. -www.smellabella.comwww.trainingwithtonya.com OT I hate bees!!!!!

Guest guest Posted October 21, 2007 Report Share Posted October 21, 2007 Thanks Tonya, My husband is still not well and has not been cleared back to work yet. He still has to go for more test on his heart and his memory is still fuzzy and he gets confused easily. Hopefully he will return to normal. Thank you for your prayers.
