Toddler fighting for life after being stung over 150 times by wasps
A 2-year-old boy was left fighting for his life after he was stung more than 150 times by yellow jackets, shutting down key organs.
Little Beckham Reed — who was born with just one kidney — was swarmed by the wasps when he bumped into a nest while riding in a toy car with his cousins in Georgia, according to a family fundraiser.

His parents rushed him to an emergency room where he was given morphine and Benadryl. He was then sent home — just for his skin to start turning yellow less than a day later.
They rushed him to another hospital where they found out his heart, liver and kidney were failing.
“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,” Beckham’s aunt Tiffany Hewatt wrote on the GoFundMe page.
Beckham was taken to the intensive care unit at Memorial Savannah and put on dialysis, a ventilator and given life-saving IV medications.
“There is no antivenom for yellow jackets so all they can do is support his body while the toxins work their way out,” Hewatt, a registered nurse, said.
His condition appeared to be slowly improving, according to an update posted on the fundraising page on Thursday.
“We are so ready for him to be off the vent and to hear his voice again,” Hewatt wrote.
