And the Winner is ....

There was a battle just a bit before 11am today .... Bee Versus Face .....

(above: a photo of Cherub 4 taken just a few days ago -- on a normal day)

Cherub 4 got stung on the lip .... and had lots of Benedryl and ice at home because the swelling began almost instantly ... a trip to the ER, where upon arrival his eyes were swollen shut and the bridge of his nose could not be seen at all) .... several injections and monitoring in the ER ....

These last two (above) photos were taken 3 hours AFTER he got stung .... and almost 2 hours after the ER injections ....

So, I think it is safe to declare the victor in this battle ....

The Bee won !!

Oh, and in the future we will be carrying Benedryl everywhere along with a BeeSting kit. He is definately allergeic !

** A special Thank You to those we called to request Urgent Prayer for Cherub 4 !! God is so good !!

UPDATE Sat 8/23 Cherub 4's face is almost normal again. He is still taking the Prednisone and the Benedryl 2x daily, and his face only has 25% of the swelling remaining. He is thrilled to finally be allowed outside to play again ... and is steering clear of any and all bees. THANK YOU FOR PRAYING FOR HIM !
