I got attacked by a herd of bees while taking some photos of a flowering tree in my mom's backyard and am officially on bed rest for a minimum of the next two weeks.
I decided i had to have photos of her tree covered in pink flowers so i grabbed my epipen and camera and decided i'd get a few shots. I got about 15 before it happened. I got a bee stuck in my hair which stung me in the head, i stepped backwards in alarm and fell in some sort of animal's hole and tripped. As i fell i must have grabbed at the nearest tree branch, which made the bees very angry. They stung me at least 20 times. My dogs saved my life. My mom didnt know i was down there (i was supposed to be changing my seats arund for photos) but heard the dogs fighting. She came out to find my puppy (around 18 month olds, some sort of Shepard crossed with a chow) was biting on my wrist pulling me and the older dog (8 years old, chow rotti cross) was fighting him away from me. She called 911 and ran down to me. At that point i was out, i was already in full shock. The ambulance took me to the ER where they gave me meds for the shock and checked the babies. I spent Sunday in the hospital being checked every few hours and got out today around noon.
The twins are ok. Their heart beats are lower than they should be but they seem to be ok. Thankfully they dont seem to have suffered for lack of oxygen but they wont know for sure until after they are born. There is a possibility that i could now go into labor due to the stress on my body but i havent shown any signs of labor.
We're hoping that after 2 weeks i'll be back on my feet (literally). My family is great and has worked out a schedule so there is always someone here to help me when DF isnt. The foster care people are going to allow us to keep Ryan as long as we have someone helping me. (which was one of my top 5 worries) I'm so swollen i look like i weigh 200 pounds and i'm covered in large ***** wounds where the bees stung me and b/c i'm allergic to latex i have a rash where the doctors or nurses have touched me. I'm on limited meds b/c of the babies so i'm just supposed to lay here and whine. (or maybe i'm not supposed to whine? Either way i'm whining.)
