Last Sunday night (when we were in San Antonio) Ella got stung by a bee. We are not exactly sure why the bee stung her - we only know that she has been stung 5 (yes, 5!) times in her short life! She is a very curious little kitty and at least 3 of the times she was playing with and trying to catch the bees. I am thinking that she will be very cautious from now on - her hand swelled up soooo bad we took her to the doctor and she had to get 2 steroid shots to reduce the swelling. Of course, time will make her forget the pain so she will probably try to catch them again!
Her hand was so swollen her fingers were larger around than mine! Her creases in her knuckles were popped out and they looked like blisters. Even her wrist was swollen. It has now started to turn black and blue. Once this is healed I will be taking her to the doctors for blood work to detect a serious bee allergy - they say that it gets worse with each sting. Emily had a bee sting in kindergarten on her foot and her face and neck swelled up. They both may be candidates for the epi-pen for their bee stings.
