A toddler who was riding his toy car and hit a wasps nest was stung more than 150 times and is fighting for his life.
Two-year-old Beckham Reed, who was born with one kidney, suffered the ‘horrific accident’ while playing in his backyard in Georgia.
‘He was on his electric toy side by side riding around his property with his cousins,’ states a GoFundMe page to support him and his family.
‘He hit a yellow jackets nest and was swarmed head to toe.’
His parents rushed him to a hospital, where he was given morphine and Benadryl and sent home after finding him appearing to breathe normally.
But less than 24 hours later, Beckham started turning yellow and his parents rushed him to the emergency room at Southeast Georgia Health System in Brunswick.
Doctors there recognized that Beckham was having multi-organ failure, including his kidney, heart and liver, and transferred him to an intensive care unit at Memorial Savannah, where he was put on dialysis, ventilator support and given IV medications to filter out toxins.
‘Due to his age and size and the amount of stings he had, his little body was unable to handle the amount of toxins in his body,’ states the fundraising page.
‘His body is responding to the support and we continue to pray that his labs and organs improve.’
It added that Beckham’s medical experience was not common.
‘There is no antivenom for yellow jackets so all they can do is support his body while the toxins work their way out,’ the page states.
The GoFundMe page had raised more than $36,000 as of Friday evening.
