Guest guest Posted September 8, 2004 Report Share Posted September 8, 2004 We went to my in laws house for Labor day,Monday,,and the kids were in the backyard playing on the swingset. Next thing I know,Logan is at the door screaming his head off,,his glasses were off,,and we couldn't figure out what had happened. We finally got it out of him that flying ants (actually Yellow jackets)had stung him. He got stung 2 times on his finger and 1 time on his upper/inner arm. I told my mil to get a cigarette,from my fil,,so we could make a paste out of it. Logan started screaming " No,,I don't want to smoke a cigarette ! " LOLOL Anyway,,we finally calmed him down and after an hour or so,,the swelling went down,and he seemed fine. Then today,I noticed that he is swollen again. As the day has progresses,,it has gotten more and more swollen. His swelling on his arm is about the size of a tennis ball (not as far out,,but as wide) and his finger is HUGE. The swelling has spread down his finger,onto the palm of his hand,,and on the back of his hand,across all his knuckles,also. I have no idea if this is normal,,so I hope someone can let me know. I will probably be calling the Dr tomorrow,,if it is still swollen. He can't even move his finger. The yellow jackets were in the pipe,on the top of the swingset,,and of course,out of all the kids to get stung,,Logan was the 'lucky one'. So,,ya'll get out there and check you swingsets,,those are tricky little flying ants Kim mom to Meaghan 15 ~~Katelyn 12 Bipolar,and OCD ~~ Logan 7 Autism,congenital myopathy,possible mitochondrial disease,and JRA ~~ and Ethan 5 and 100 % BOY ________________________________________________________________ Get your name as your email address.
