Update on Ryan
On Saturday, we went to the festival at Eisenhower Park in East Meadow. My godson, Ryan was stung by a bee and hade a terrible reaction. At first, we thought he had an allergy to something in the park so we moved from the area. When he appeared to be having signs of a slight asthma attack, we packed up and ran to the car. We drove to the hospital and as you can imagine it was quite hectic with two cars of kids. We got to the hospital and he was still having what appeared to be a mild asthma attack (he has never had asthma). I was talking with him and he responding. After we got to the hospital, things got progressively worse. The doctor came and told us Ryan had a collapsed lung which was caused by a bee/bug bit. I never heard of a child’s lung collapsing from a bee sting and felt like I was in a nightmare. The doctor pumped his body medicine with medicine and all night we waited and hoped to hear better news. The doctor told us if there wasn’t an improvement, they were going to force his body into a coma because he was getting worse and he spoke of operating.
So we stayed up and prayed…..it was a long night.
To make a long story short because I have to get to work, Ryan is recovering at the hospital. Thank you to our friends and family for prayers and coming to our rescue. My eyes ache from lack of sleep/crying/allergies – call me later.
*Ryan had no known allergies before yesterday. We weren’t aware of anyone in his family being allergic to stings either.
Thank you Louise for updating for us on Sat

This is Louise, K’s sister doing an update for Queenie.
Ryan – no signs of improving so the doctors put him into a medically induced coma so his body could rest/improve or they will operate Sun or Mon morn – please pray. Hope to see some improvement in the next 12-24 hrs. M is staying with K at the hospital. Her phone died and she can’t post anything else to fb – charger is in Bklyn. Call L or K or family. Will update when I get more info.
Hugs,
marlene
