Her poor little thumb is all red and swollen. I know it was burning/stinging because she willingly soaked it in a bowl of ice water for 20 minutes.
She had eaten some melon and left a few squares behind. I was peeling apples for dinner and noticed the YJ land in the syrupy juice. He was stuck and dying. I didn't want to touch him myself given my allergy. She came back in and before I realized decided to snack on those last couple bites. I knew instantly when she yelled and Gregg was able to pull the stinger out. We gave her benedryl immediately and watched her carefully (for those that don't know, Alex and I are both fatally allergic). The reaction was completely local but we don't yet know if this was our freebie or if she is in the clear. The next sting, if she has one, will likely tell.

Poor Greggie! I have no clue if I'm allergic. I've only ever been stung once, and we're not really sure what kind of bee it was. I hope that this wasn't just a freebie for you and that she isn't fatally allergic. But, I also hope she doesn't have to get stung again.
Oh the poor thing, that's such a scary situation for you. I hope she's not allergic!
Oh my God is she ok. I hope she doesn't have the allergy. Kiss it for me please.
She's fine Gam. I'll give her lots of kisses anyway!
OMG! Thank goodness she doesn;t appear to be alergic! Lets hope it stays this way
