The husband of one of Anne's closest friends, Stuart Grasberg just died from yellow jacket stings.
Mary said that he was stung while mowing the yard. He went over a yellow jacket's nest. They stung him. He came into the house and said that he felt "funny." He ate a popsicle and took a Benedril.
He had never had a problem when he was stung before, but this time his throat began to swell and he was having trouble breathing. Mary called 911, but they live in a very rural area and the EMTs had a hard time findiing them
Their 14 yo son, Ben, went down to the road to wave the EMTs in. Mary was on the phone and the doctors were telling her to give Stuart mouth-to-mouth. She said it was almost impossible to force air in and out of him. The EMTs finally arrived. Stuart's heart had just stopped, but they got it going again.
He was five days in the hospital before he died. A vital man with no health problems before this.

Mary is still in shock she has a hard time believing this is not just some kind of nightmare she will wake from. One day her husband is well and happy, then suddenly he is gone.
Smoke and prayers for Mary and Ben. and a little bit for Anne.
