Ali - You know a single bee can only sting you once. The stinger comes out and stays stuck in your skin along with the little sack pumping the venom into you. I bet you were stung by a wasp if you have multiple welts. Maybe you are having an allergic reaction. I worked with a guy that got stung by a yellow jacket wasp on his hand and he was so allergic we had to take him to the emergency room before he went into anaphylaxis (can cause breathing difficulties). His hand was severely swollen within minutes. If you have hives on your belly (or anywhere else) you could be having a reaction, just not as severe?
I've been stung on the back of my neck by yellow jackets so many different times, I've lost count. Thank goodness I'm not allergic. It still doesn't stop it from burning like fire when they do!
I am doing well... It will be better after homecoming is over with though.
I continue praying for your family. Surly his being touched by an angel like you Alicia will bring him around.
