Anaphylactic Shock Sent Steph to the ER | Bees Attacked... Again!

We are interrupting our previously scheduled videos, to update our viewers on what happened on 05/17/23. This is the second attack in just a few short weeks, so unfortunately we need to take some drastic measures with this hive, and fast. We can't risk our kids or animals getting attacked.
Thank GOD for ‪@catchinupwithkim‬ Kim, she drove me straight to the ER for lifesaving help. Without her here, I don't know what would have happened, as our local EMS was on another call elsewhere. Please as a word of caution, if you are a beekeeper keep an epipen on hand. I never knew my reaction would be this bad after many many years of beekeeping and after many stings. This one just "hit differently."

PLEASE ALWAYS KEEP YOUR EPIPEN NEAR!!! THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS!!! Please be safe!!!!

[@mitchfitz]

It sure is. This scared me, not gonna lie.

[@esculapiaxula]

PSA: For anyone in the US reading this, in case of allergic reaction this severe, please call 911. This is a life-threatening emergency. Emergency personnel has the means to treat with an Epi-pen on the way to the hospital. Steph’s airway could have obstructed completely on their way to the hospital. Also, if you’ve had a previous reaction, chances are the next one will be worse (as it happened to Steph). Steph, I’m glad you’re OK and I’m grateful for Kim’s quick response. Glad you’re looking into immunotherapy and re-queening the hive. Blessings!

[@merlenejeffries3937]

So scary, glad it is a good outcome. Best wishes and be careful.

[@territrombley8273]

You couldn’t be more right!!!! Driving to the hospital is extremely dangerous!! Call rescue without hesitation!

[@maynewzion2661]

Feel better Steph❤️🇨🇦🇨🇦♥️

[@leahbgreen]

Sometimes someone else driving is way faster than ambulance. It does really matter where you are located. My sister for example had a very similar reaction from a hornet in the middle of the night. Our Dad called country doctor cuz hospital was 40 minutes away. Doc told my Dad where to go and he made a 20 minute drive in 6 minutes!!!! Also, note to USE the EPI-PEN if have one. Fear can take over. Don't be afraid to use it. It was made to self inject or if someone else is with you even better!

[@danamoore1944]

🙏 "Continued Prayers" 🙏 That was definitely to close for comfort and thank goodness his mom was there for you! You most definitely should have an EpiPen on you at all times! I'm just happy you're okay and like you said, "It wasn't one of the kids! 🥰🙏🌹🙋🏻‍♀️ XXX's

[@vickiwallace9694]

She carries an Epipen, we all know how to use it, just hope we never have to. So thankful for Kim 💖 and so grateful you’re okay 💞. Rest up, take it easy, we absolutely adore you 💝. Thank you for the updates Buddy, that must have been a huge shock for you too, please take care. Much love from Canada 🇨🇦.

I've been waiting all day for this update. Thank goodness Steph is going to be okay. Prayers for comfort and speedy recovery

[@nancyfeddersen4277]

I know sometimes bees will be in the grass around flowers. Maybe her mower ran over them and stirred them up. Get plenty of rest, your poor body had quite the shock. Sending healing prayers to you Stephanie. Thank you Kym for getting her to the hospital quickly and thank you for the update.

[@kimberleawilson3545]

So sorry you all had to go through this scary situation. I’m so glad Steph is feeling better. I’m sending lots of positive healing energy to Steph and the rest of the family. Superhero Kim to the rescue. She truly is a blessing.

[@DianaSoares66]

So glad Kim was home. Thanks for the update. Maybe just get rid of that hive. It’s not worth getting stung where it puts you in the hospital. So scary. If no one was around, I’d hate to even think about that.

[@sallym1171]

Thank God and Kim that you're okay Steph. Prayers you have a swift recovery. Stay safe my friend.

[@scannfamily4863]

Stephanie, I am so sorry you had to go through that. When I about 12 I was swarmed by a bee hive. I had over 100 stingers removed. I spent a week in the hospital. I wasn't sure that I would still have a reaction to bees, wasps, or hornets since I haven't been stung since. We were working out in the yard at our country property and I was stung by a wasp. I immediately headed towards the house, by the time I was able to get to the back deck I couldn't breathe. I had gone to my doctor the week before and he had prescribed a eppi pen for me because the closest emergency room is 15 minutes away from our rural property. They come in a twin pack and have a test pen to practice with. My youngest daughter just happened to step out the back door and realized something was wrong and immediately ran into the house to get the eppi pen. After the first injection I felt better but still wasn't feeling 100%. We had already called for a ambulance right after I took the first injection. By the time the ambulance had gotten to our house 15 minutes later I had already started having trouble breathing again. My daughter was instructed to give the second injection by the 911 operator but the ambulance had pulled up so I told her to wait to ask them. Once they were able to get a line in and give me medicine I started feeling much better. I will tell you I learned a lesson that day. I always carry my eppi pen with me even if I am just walking from the house to the car. I was also told that after giving the first injection to always go to the hospital to be monitored because once the medicine starts to wear off the symptoms can come back extremely quickly. It was extremely scary not only for myself but for my 27 year old daughter because she just walked out the back door and it's a good thing she realized what was wrong right away because I couldn't speak much less catch my breath. The other thing that you might investigate is to see if there is another hive in your tree line? It may not bee your hive that has caused this. It could be wild hive that's decided to make a home close to your two hives you have? Just a few random thoughts. We found out where the wasp nest was that I had come close too. I had to have someone come remove it because the nest was huge and was between two metal panels on one of our out buildings. I'm so glad Kim was there to get you to the hospital for treatment. Just remember that if you use your eppi pen always go to the hospital afterwards to be checked out. And always carry the eppi pen on you at all times. Thank You for the update on how you're doing. Much Love from our family to your family 💞

[@tinamarmie9209]

Other bees make a nest in the ground she could have ran over it my grandson was stung from yellow jackets borrowed in the ground. So scary so glad Stephanie is ok. Thanks to Kim you all be careful.

What a scary day. I'm so glad everything worked out and Stephanie is doing better. It's nice that you have a "just in case" plan in place.

[@sherrybanks2123]

Stephanie so glad you are okay. Those bees are no joke. Please stay away from them and let Buddy or Pop take care of the box replacement and re-queening! Thank God, Kim was home and able to take you to the hospital and get you the care you need. Buddy interesting you say the bees didn’t attack you while you were mowing. That is very interesting. Please continue to keep us updated on Stephanie and what’s going on with the bees.

[@brendaroelfs]
